Feedback & Reports

Very tough day, weather was contributing factor, clear skies overnight meant temp was 4 degrees and that with bright sunshine seemed to mean the fish were not feeding. We stuck it out until it was dark but one small chub was the only fish of the day. Two other anglers on the stretch failed to catch. Lovely spot however.

1 Chub

Caught one chub 4lbs on pellets. Very cold, no colour in the water.

After 3 good days we failed to catch a fish today. Temperature: cold overnight and there were lots of Salmon moving. We stayed at the Falcon House which is highly recommended.

Fairly hard going but did manage a few. All on pellet and feeder or straight lead. Float fishing was tried but didn't get any success. Lovely scenery especially as the leaves are turning. If your in the area on a Thursday try the Hollybush at Fownhope. Thursday night is pie night !

The water was slightly coloured which helped the fishing as we got off to a great start with 3 barbel in half an hour very early in the morning. The action slowed down soon after and we went searching for fish. A chub and small barbel followed around midday with my friend catching the last barbel and chub with an hour to go. All barbel between 6 and 8lbs. With the chub 3 and 4 lbs. Lovely fishing all round.

A tough day for me as I blanked! My friend managed 2 barbel and 2 chub, but had to work hard for it. We started by climbing cardiac hill and fishing beyond the wood, but switched to the other side later on in the afternoon. This is a lovely stretch, and worth a visit, but the walk to the other side of the wood is hard work.

Visiting guest angler D.Paige reported River now much clearer and trying all the likely spots on beats 5 and 6 fishing dead-bait sprat's sink and draw 4 small pike to 8 lb were netted and a few follow ins from bigger fish which turned away at the last minute.

River pushing through with hint of colour, we caught fish in the meadow upstream of the car park on our first trip to this stretch. Fished pellets on feeder and caught regularly from our start at around 12.30 until 6. All fish between 5 and 9lb. Top day in beautiful surroundings.

River in great condition. Started in the bottom pool opposite the house, had two barbel within 5 minutes but quickly quietened down. Enjoyed trotting for dace and chub in the middle of the day with a giant gudgeon thrown in for good measure. Barbel came on the feed again in the evening. A great day on what I think is one of the nicest beats on the river, lots of swim choices and just teaming with wildlife.
