Feedback & Reports

Very nice stretch of water, only problem lack of pegs(partly due to very low water level) but we all managed to find a swim. Fishing was tough but managed 5 barbel to 9lbs 14oz and 5 chub, 3-4lbs. Most fish came to pellet and feeder. Very long walk and mountain track to venue.

5 Barbel, 5 Chub

Spent the first two thirds of the session stalking carp with meat or trying to catch them on floating baits. Switched to float fished maggots later in the afternoon and caught about 35 roach, half a dozen rudd and a chub.

1 Chub, 40 Other

River very low and clear, hard going in the bright sunshine but my fishing buddy managed a barbel around 7lbs and two chub around the 3lb mark. Myself, I did not have a bite, would fish it again with a bit more water and colour on.

Clear, low water made fishing challenging. Our sole purpose was to get my brother a barbel as he was over from Dubai. Mission accomplished as he caught 2, one 9oz and one 12oz! He therefore will be back to catch a grown up barbel. I did however catch a 5lb juvenile. We also had 4 Chub to 5lb 4oz. Great day on lovely beat full of wildlife, will be back.

12 barbel and 2 chub all taken on 8 mil pellet with 4 mil pellet in feeder. 10 barbel between 5 pounds and 7lb 15oz
with 2 small fish of 1lb and 1lb 8ozs which must be a good sign for future stocks.

This was my first day of three gloriously warm September days at Holme Lacy. Had 11 barbel to over 8lbs and 14 chub.
Meet up with Colin again who was as friendly and informative as ever.
