Feedback & Reports

Although river levels very low fish could be found in faster well oxygenated water.
Met Stefan , a humble and pleasant man, who passed on relevant information about tactics and best swims to fish.
A hard and difficult day as float fishing meant wading in fast water. luncheon meat and sweetcorn accounted for all the fish caught.

Nice stretch of water, we caught using cage feeder with hemp and pellets. The water was quite low however certain pegs had a nice flow in the middle of the river and this is where we had some success.

Fishery busy. Conditions tough as high temperatures and very weedy.

Loads of small chub all falling for freelined meat from faster water plus 2 barbel of 3lb and 6lb. Finding the fish was key so stayed mobile. All fish released quickly and all swam away strongly.
Loads of kingfishers to watch as well.

Water level very low

Very low river as expected and lack of experience on this type of venue led to a disappointing day
Will come back in winter to try again.
No fish caught

A good day chose the swim wisely, low water but kept the feed going in and enticed the fish out.
Pellet produced the better fish 2 x Barbel to 8lB the rest around 4-5lb, chub from 2lb -4lb, then a bit of Dace on the float road.
Stayed a Caplor Glamping and Camping in their Caravan, Windmill View.
When the weather is as dry as it is and the crops are vehicles could safely be parked behind pegs with no issues to the natural surroundings, maybe something to consider for the future as good access is on the top 3 of every anglers list.

Fishing Passport Note : Anglers must always adhere to the parking instructions in the beat details issued. They have been agreed with the Fishery Owner. There is usually a very good reason they are, what they are.

Water levels very low and clear,,bright sunshine, 30° and quite a few canoes. However, a cracking day had by all. We moved around different swims throughout the day and tried different techniques including wading with the float, free lining and standard feeder. The barbel weren’t showing as they usually would, however, we still banked 4 along with 44 chub all on pellets, ,meat or bread
