Feedback & Reports

Fished the last 2 pegs in the morning. No barbell,water very, very low with little flow. One angler returned in the evening and managed 2 barbel and 1 chub. Good going under the circumstances. A lovely stretch to fish with easy access but would definitely benefit from a bit of extra water.

Great fishing despite a very low, clear river and a very hot, bright day! Barbel, biggest 9lb 8oz, couple more over 8lb and chub to 5lb 1oz fell to pellet on running lead rigs. Bleak, dace and couple eels on the float rod. Great beat! Back next Tuesday to try again.

Started at first light and had bites straight away but no fish. Rain in morning did nothing to encourage me to stay past 2pm. Will be back later in the year for another go.

River was low and quite clear. Caught on groundbait feeder and various pellets and meat. Canoes/kayaks were a real problem, lost count how many times they caught my line.

River low and clear, lots of weed coming down the river too, bright sunshine, real struggle. Only one of us caught and that was an eel. Very dissapointing day to be honest, two of us didn't even have a bite. The canoes and kayaks were a real problem.

Fished the first five swims from the pumping station on rotation. Beautiful venue with good access, just didn't fish as well as it looks. 2 suicidal minnows was all I had to show for 11 hours.
If fishing the inspection cover swim about a third out-be prepared to lose a lot of feeders, I lost three in the first hour before I moved.

Fished 5pm to dusk with lighter hooklength and smaller hooks. Eels were a problem as they seem to be attracted to fishmeal groundbait.

Day 4 of 5 and our group had grown to 3. The barbel were a good average size topped by a fish of 10lb 2oz with a 9 and some 8s. Fish were caught throughout the day without ever getting their heads down and fell to a variety of pellet and boilies baits fished below feeders. Areas fished were mainly the wood but also Leggs Meadow which proved unproductive.
