Feedback & Reports

Between us we fished eight swims searching for barbel and failed miserably. Most of the chub were caught on meat but we tried a range of pellets and boilies with feeders or straight leads and nothing could get the barbel interested today it would seem.

Cold night and water temperatures fell. Tricky morning but once the fish were located and the sun warmed things up a bit bites came steadily into the evening.

Could only get bites using maggots as bait hence the silvers. Others were 2 roach and 9 dace.
Anglers be aware that White House is a working dairy farm and the track is covered with cow muck so when opening/closing barriers you will get mucky footwear and cover your foot mats in cow s--t. Having 4 wheel drive meant I could just about get back up the track in a normal 2 wheel drive vehicle there was no chance. Upstream of the parking area there are no recognisable swims and another angler was fishing the croy pool although I thought I was the only person booked in for that day? WUF you probably need to supply more relevant info for anglers especially regarding access.

River was in great shape, about a metre ish at Ross and falling with settled weather. Expectations were high but fishing was tough. Tried pellet, luncheon meat and sweetcorn. Lone barbel was about 4 pound and both chub were bigger

Glorious sunny day with river falling slightly. Grayling, trout, lots of quality dace, and chub to 3lb taken on trotting maggots in the fast shallow water in the middle of the beat. Chub to 5lb 9oz taken on feeder/meat tactics in the deeper water.
