Feedback & Reports

We had a slow start to the day but by trying various swims we all caught well catching 18 barbel to 9 lb, mainly caught on hair rigged pellet and a lot of the fish we caught under the near bank bushes

18 Barbel, 1 Chub

Wonderful setting - peregrines, barn owls, kite, buzzards, barbel. Barbel, barbel and barbel all along. Reccomend a long landing net handle on some swims which are fairly high up with the lowish water.

Complete blank - fair bit of water had gone into the river in 24hours so possible a temperature change turned the fish off the feed?

Shame, stretch look nice, easy manageable swims and some lovely deeper runs off the main flow but only one real whack on the tip all day, what I managed to miss.

The river was very low. Managed 2 barbel on feeder tactics.

River was low and clear. we fished pellet on pellet waggler and had eight fish between us.T he fish were all in the 4-6lb bracket.
I would not recommend this stretch for more than two anglers as the swims were limited and there were 7 anglers on the other bank mostly either wading across to our bank were there was the most flow or feeder fishing again onto our bank. This meant that the limited number of swims were even more limited.

First visit to this stretch and fished from 1pm till 9pm. River low and clear. Started off about half way along the stretch on the faster swims, and had 1 barbel about 4lb at 3pm, caught on 12mm pellet and straight lead.
Then moved to the top swim about 5pm and fished meat catching 1 chub. I then moved back down a couple of swims at 7pm and fished meat to catch 2 small chub and 2 barbel about 7lb/ 8 lb which made my day.

All fish were in great condition and the barbel fought really well. There's only a short walk to the parking and it's a nice peaceful stretch. Some of the pegs are on a slope so would be easy to fall in when its wet, and you need a long landing net handle in some places.

A great day and I would fish this stretch again. Thank you WUF.
