Feedback & Reports

Fishing very slow - not much flow on river due to lack of rain. All fish were in good condition and caught on either meat or pellet.
We booked online and the Foundation service and admin was excellent. Very prompt and easy to follow.

Started early in the meadow where the river was running sluggish and low. Weather was bright and clear. No bites all morning so moved down into the Wood, still no luck but had a useful chat with Don who offered some advice which I acted on, so spent the evening back up in the Meadow, where I managed five good sized chub and one small barbel the majority coming from the 'Pipes' swim. Thanks for the advice Don.

1 Barbel, 5 Chub

Walked the whole beat in the morning resulting in 5 chub from various swims. Afternoon, stayed in one swim where 10 barbel were caught, weighing between 7lbs 3oz and 10lbs 14oz.
Really good beat with so many variety's of swims, will be even better once there is a bit more water.

Left of the entrance towards the end of the beat best fish 9lb.

Lovely day at a lovely location. Fishing probably could have been better but river very low and a hot sunny day. Our own lack of ability also didn't help, however we managed to put 2 Barbel and 3 Chub on the bank using cage feeders and pellets on the hook. Seemed to be a well looked after fishery with good access and plenty of swims to keep me and my Dad happy. We fished a couple of swims on the right bank as you look down stream. Would love to go back when there's a bit more water.

Very low and clear, but a cloudy day helped. All fish fell to feeder and pellet tactics. The combination lock on the small gate by the river is extremely fiddly to access - especially when the previous user has put it on upside down! Despite this and the sometimes uncooperative fish, we had a lovely day. 2 anglers on the far bank didn't seem to fare any better.

Fishing difficult, each swim tried produced bites straight away only for fish to vanish! 2 barbel, 6lbs and 8lbs, one chub 4lbs caught. An angler attempted to fish this stretch with no permit and was asked to leave by my partner which he did. Exit on to main road very poor, single anglers should be aware of this an accident waiting to happen.

Arrived, for various reasons, around 2pm and the river looked the lowest I have ever seen it and colored which seemed contradictory. Adam, who I met for the first time this trip said it was due to algal bloom so I wasn't that optimistic. Spent a couple of hours after that first elusive Wye pike to no avail before settling in to feeder fish the evening. Winkled out three Barbel in the end 5lb and 6lb approximately before ending up with the best of the session at 7lb 7oz.

3 Barbel

Fished the Bottom Pool, fishmeal groundbait feeder and double 8mm elips hair rigged. Caught steadily through the day to take 13 barbel and 8 chub.
Very enjoyable day. Had a great chat with Don too!

13 Barbel

River a little low, a few salmon top and tailing and a pike strike. A couple of Chub caught on luncheon meat but not a sniff of any Barbel, I wonder if they are still spawning? Roamed the river and tried 7 or 8 swims between the two of us.
A good day however, hopefully better luck next time.
