Feedback & Reports

1 Barbel caught on flavoured meat, 2 barbel lost & 1 other (chub or eel?) Due to debris coming down.
Only fished for 2hrs as rain made banks very very slippery, just about made it out (on all fours!!)
Gutted as the Barbel were really on the feed! Lesson learned. Spikes on boots reqd! Love this beat,never disappoints.

3 anglers. A challenging day as river had risen overnight with a lot of colour. Banks were treacherously slippy due to rain and mud. I fell over 3 times despite using dog spike & rope. 1 barbel landed, 7lb 2oz, and two lost, one at the net. About 15 or so chub, all fish to luncheon meat on feeder.

Hard day today!! Fished 6/7 swims for 3 Barbel and 1 Chub. Biggest 9lbs 2oz so can’t complain. Boilie for 2 6lbers Garlic meat for the 9lber . Track down has been made good so a lot less likely to get stuck.

River coloured with levels dropping although there was heavy overnight rain the previous evening. 5 barbel caught by myself from two different swims. Unfortunately, the other angler did not catch. Both of us using the same ground bait feeder with pellet hook baits. Other hook baits tried but the barbel were only taking pellets. Banks very slippery so a dogspike and rope essential.
