Feedback & Reports

Another very hot day but river in good condition. We caught well in all the swims we fished except the first swim below the woods which did not produce as well this time. Barbel to over 9lb landed on various pellet based baits. Take note that there is a strenuous walk involved to get to the lower sections of this beat so travel light.

After a slow start the fish switched on from early afternoon until we packed up at 19:30. The best barbel was 8.12 with chub to 3.8 and all the fish were caught on feeder with different combinations of pellet. I will remember this day for the 3 otters that briefly turned up in my swim before heading back downstream having checked me out.

All caught on float using 8mm carp pellets. I think its called watercraft..great location.

Arrived late morning to find the river in good condition. Tried a few spots including the weir pool area but no fish showing until late afternoon when 1 barbel 7-8lb and 4 chub up to 5lb came in the space of about an hour. The weather was unseasonably hot with bright sunshine for most of the day, which I suspect explains the slow nature of the fishing. Great to be on the river though in beautiful surroundings.

Weather hot, fishing poor.

River quite low, weather very hot but it had bad thunderstorms the night before, caught lots of chublet's from the start, fished every field but ended up behind church and landed on the barbel biggest 8lb smallest 2lb, caught on meat and corn. Good stretch would have fished better if slightly cooler. Thanks WUF

Pellet, meat and legered bread.Barbel 2 x 9lbs, 1 x 3lbs
2 barbel before 8am, last one at 6pm.
Walked about half the length of this beat. Good fishable swims turning left after access steps at upper end but it would be great if more swims can be cut after turning right from bottom of steps.
As with previous WUF day tickets at Wyebank and Lower Canon Bridge, the additional info and map were very helpful.

Same problems gaining entry as the previous day. Many thanks to Wye @Usk for trying to resolve the entry problems and finally moving us to another fishery for our 3rd day.

The fish weighing 8lb 10oz, 8lb 2oz and 5lb, were caught late afternoon at the top of the beat. Conditions were not ideal as it was very hot. All three fish were caught within an hour, but they were the only bites we had all day, apart from 3 eels.
