Feedback & Reports

The day was cloudy for most of it with hot spells and strongish gusts of wind. The river was slightly higher than my last visit 3 weeks previous. Caught 5 barbel from just over 1lb to 8lb 2oz. 3 chub also caught again from over 1lb upto 3lb 12oz. All caught on a feeder with pellet on the hair.

Fished numerous swims in the lower beat below the orchard, finally finding some fish in a swim with steps down in to it. Fished eclipse pellets over T 1 boilie, along the left hand tree margin. Result - 3 barbel to 8lb 3oz. Other angler was unfortunately less successful, great venue, great scenery and river. However, the footpath from the orchard in to the lower beat is almost completely overgrown and a sign on the entrance gate would help 1st time visitors like ourselves. Will be back.

A first visit to this beat for me,a lovely stretch with plenty of variation.3 barbel and 4 chub taken early before the sun was on the water,biggest barbel 7lb 3oz.
W.U.F, are anglers allowed to take vehicles into the field at the lower end of the beat? As someone was doing so,maybe a friend of the farmer?

Also regarding vehicles, I fished yesterday at White House and some anglers were driving along the river bank,is this allowed now? As my information specifically says not to.

WUF Note : Driving along the bank at White House is NOT allowed.

A great weekend fishing at Sugwass. Very hot on Saturday, caught a couple early in the day then struggled in the heat until late afternoon/evening when we had 3 barbel and a few chub. Sunday complete contrast weather wise, pouring rain all day. Again caught few fish early but packed up at 2 due to the river rising and no bites forthcoming. Great stretch of river. Only couple of issues, one being canoeists, including one who got tangled up in the line after ignoring our shouts, also the floating weed coming down catching on the line was a bit of a problem. All in all a great weekend though.
