Feedback & Reports

River looked perfect when we arrived early morning but within minutes of casting out we had to reel in feeders & hook bait were covered in blanket weed coming down river made it totally impossible to fish Will definitely not be returning until a good flood of rain washes river through

On the fish right from the off, a barbel straight away. line bites and signs of fish in the swim the entire day, but would not take a bait after 6am. Didn’t even switch on in the evening. I stayed in one spot most of the day as I knew the fish were there, JJ was in and out of swims like a fiddlers elbow and and managed 1 barbel. Fish just weren’t interested.

One barbel hooked and lost. No other bites. River very low and lots of silkweed.

River still too high really, only two swims feasibly fishable. With no bites til lunchtime and the rain showing no sign of stopping I threw in the towel and went home to get warm.

Fished pellets with feeders or pva bags on a rising river. Only a handful of canoes and kayaks to deal with. The upstream rod had two fish in the morning with the downstream rod producing most fish in the afternoon. Barbel between 5-7lb.

Slow fishing but good result for the winter. Chub and barbel to feeder tactics.
Jack pike on sea dead baits close in.
