Feedback & Reports

We were hoping that heavy rain the day before might have raised the river level and got rid of the algae bloom. Sadly the river was very low and still coloured brown. Lots of floating streamer weed which was a nuisance. Nearly all fish caught in the last two hours.

A low river greeted us so we initially chose two swims towards the bottom end of the beat that had a deeper run on the inside. Lots of weed was caught but no fish, so we decided to try other swims further up the beat for the rest of the day. A couple of small chub and six eels were caught all on a variety of baits, meat, pellet and sweet corn.

A difficult first day of six on the river, algae bloom has made the river look like malt vinegar. First time on this beat, plenty of canoes but no hassle even when the armada arrived. All fish caught on pellet.

A very hard day on a stretch we normally do well on. Water was a strange brown colour and something was not quite right. Since read other similar reports.
