Feedback & Reports

An absolutely beautiful spot to fish but again very very low and clear. Some of the swims were way too steep to get access. Fished the beach to start but that was dead. Moved up in the afternoon to a much deeper spot opposite the stones on far bank. Had 8 chub on gripper feeder and dumbell boilies. One was a beauty at 5lb close to my pb. Lost a cracking barbel due to rig failure, shot off like a bullet was a very good fish. I expect fishes great from the beach section with some more water and colour. Again another beat where the swims need tidying. This isn’t cheap fishing and the swims need more attention in my humble opinion.

One small Chub on bread trotted downstream plus one very small dace. Canoes were a nightmare. Two rigs lost because of irresponsible canoeists who did not seem to care. But will be back again when conditions improve.

Never seen the river so low !
So many people swimming all through the section made it tricky finding some fish!
Saw at least 2 different people on canoes with spinning rods and fishing
After all that I still had a lovely day on my favourite river!

Enjoyable day on the beat. Only managed some chub and perch between us, but unsurprising given how low the river was. Beautiful bird life.

26’c and sunny made it tough going.
Me and my son loved it though, wading under the bridge catching many medium size chub and one 2lb barbel on the float, in a lovely location.
We Landed one 4 1/2lb chub on feeder tactics below the rapids after 5pm and lost 2 bigger fish, 1 to snags (which there are a lot of hidden boulders) and another to hook pull. :(

Had 2 smaller groups try to start fishing who weren’t booked on, but moved when asked politely.

Fished the bottom end of the beat with low water and clear skies. Float tactics using a mixture of meat, sweetcorn and bread.
A seemingly endless procession of chub, nearly all in the 3 to 4 pound range, mostly in fantastic condition. Over 100 fish on one rod. 3 barbel arrived in the hour before dusk.

Directions and parking were good. The closest spot to the parking is less than 5 minutes away, but it is a long haul down to the far end and the path was tricky in the dry so would be very difficult in the wet. The styles will need some maintenance soon; the second one in particular is very wobbly.

Many thanks to those that keep this spot available.
