Feedback & Reports

This report and the one before it is for two anglers CT and AW - a total of 3 barbel caught - fell to one angler - CT.
The river has dropped a foot from last week and has cleared totally. We now need some rain to put some water back on it and colour things up a little. The canoe traffic was absolutely horrendous today - floatila's of canoes constantly, with people swimming on the opposite bank and dogs swimming fetching sticks - it was terrible today!

Fairly slow fishing today, plenty of fish showing later on in evening but not feeding.Managed 2 Chub including one of 5 lbs 10 oz on meat,a switch to pellet later on brought 1 Barbel,around 6 lbs.

River very low and clear,fished from about 1pm until 9pm canoes a real pain until late evening when I managed to pick up a couple of chub on luncheon meat.

River level fairly low with clear water made for a difficult day. Fished the boat pool area with meat and pellet. No bites on meat but 3 good bites on pellet resulting in the 3 fish to save the day. Canoe traffic heavy during the day up to 4.00pm which didn’t help and resulting with having to wind in and let the less considerate ones and people with no idea how to paddle a canoe pass by.

early start but didn't get first bite till 3.30 in afternoon after a lot of boat traffic and some deciding to swim the river instead of using boat then caught 2 barbell within an hour

Never fished the stretch before. Quite uniform but looked nice regardless.
Weather was in the upper 20's so decided against waders & fished from the bank.
We struggled initially but found the fish a few pegs from the end of the stretch on a long cast to the far bank trees, landing & losing a string of fish from 4:30pm til dark.
Best fish was 8lb which pulled the rod in due to a tangle on the tip but a fearless tuck & pike retrieved it quickly!!
All fish taken on small pellets banded to a 14's or 12's hook to a long hooklink... Up to 6ft.
Many Thanks.
