Feedback & Reports

fished the dead tree swim, struggled to hold bottom on times, switching to a 5oz + feeder did help, on times there was alot of debris collecting on the line, all in all it was just nice to get out on the bank. 2 Barbel landed, 5 fish lost, damped pellets forced into the feeder / a stodgy grounbait mix with hemp used switching between the two, And dumbell hookbaits on the hair. All Hinders range. the banks a very slippery so be careful to anyone venturing out.

A well managed section of river with plenty of area's to access the water. River conditions were difficult and rising. Heavy leads or feeders were needed to hold. Conditions were more favourable at the upstream area.

A much better day on lower section, even though the river started to rise from late morning. Nice 6lb barbel to legered pellet and two chub from a different swim on pellet, weighing 3.00 and 4.14. Latter fish looked a definite 5.00, alas it wasn't to be but still a pb for the angler in question :-) Rest of the catch return is small dace.
This is a lovely peaceful fishery with lots of wildlife to see but it would benefit from more swim creation - long lines of willow trees make access impossible for much of the lower section.

Favourable weather between all the rain. River well up but fished ok. 3 barbel and 4 good size chub on a mixture of pellet and meat, plus other smaller chub,dace,bleak and the odd kamikaze minnow! Nice stretch - could do with a few more swims
