Feedback & Reports

It’s been 4 years since my last visit to this beat , it should’ve been sooner , I forgot how great this place is ! With great parking and a stunning backdrop! Luckily we had the entire beat to ourselves so we tried to fish as much as possible, an early chub and barbel got us excited , and a cracking perch took our pellet , that’s a first for me !
Feeder fishing proved quite slow throughout the day , so switched to trotting which brought us a flurry of specimen chub , fantastic!
2 late barbel put the icing on the cake for what was a brilliant days fishing .

Lovely stretch, take the advice and travel light. Also may be advisable to take a rope. All fish caught on meat and pellet.
River was carrying quite a bit of colour, even though it was only slightly up on the gauge.

Very slow start to the day , took a gamble with it being bank holiday , canoe traffic wasn’t too bad though .
Arrived first light , no bites whatsoever tried all three pools , feeder & float tactics .
Went home & returned for the evening, river full of life , Chub swirling ….the return paid off , 4 small barbel & one around 8lb to finish off with along a rogue chub .
All fish coming to meat & pellet on the feeder
