Feedback & Reports

I fished the lower limit of this beat in the Rock Pool area and focused my efforts on catching a pike. The river conditions were good and I was hopeful of a few fish but only managed 1 pike of approx 5-6Lb.
The countryside here is stunning and I would definately return again and a real plus point was the ease of access as parking just a 50yd walk from the river.

As per the previous day, caught a few chub on pellet, barbel were not in evidence. River still pushing through strongly and fishing very tough. Will try again when river has calmed down a bit.

Caught a few chub on pellet, barbel not showing but conditions were difficult since this river had burst its banks the previous week, and although down was still high and pushing through a bit too hard. This stretch I think favours lower water conditions.

8 chub, 2 barbel, 1 pike. Meat and cheese paste.

7 chub up to 4lb 14oz on cheese paste, meat and maggots. River rose about 2' in the afternoon which seemed to slow action. Thanks to the WUF for a fantastic years fishing.

Water level was up by 3 feet according to land owner. Fished the lower point of the beat. It is deeper and slower. The main current was quite fast, my 150g lead couldn't hold bottom. Caught 4 chub biggest about 5lb, 2 came on luncheon meat and 2 on cheese paste towards the end of the session. All in all memorable days fishing.

Despite this being the best of the 4 days again another blank. Great surroundings and company but I think the river got the better of us. Only had one take and this was lost to a snag under my feet.

6 chub up to 4lb on cheese paste. Fished lots of swims and had bites in all of them.

5 barbel up to 6lb one from the top end of the beat five from the tree line no fish from the lower end. All fish caught on pellet. Fishing was limited due to match on opposite bank.

Once again conditions looked great but fishing was tough - nevertheless 2 very good pike both over 20lbs taken - a barbel of 9lbs and 4 chub in the 1-2 lbs range.
