Feedback & Reports

We fished the swim right next to the hut. Last year we tried from the centre of the woods and had great success but didn't fancy the hill of death this time!

An abundance of Chub available trotting, had around 15 in 1-2 hours to 3lb but switched to the feeder and the first Barbel was a midday and at 10lb 4oz I was chuffed. My mate lost a decent one later in the afternoon and they came on the feed again well at dusk where I caught a further 5 more barbel between 6-8lb.

All caught on a mixture of boilie, pellet and meat.

Banks are busier than other stretches with dog walkers, hikers etc but not an issue tbh.

6 Barbel, 15 Chub

A fantastic morning and evening. River low with a tinge of colour. Fish ranged from 1/2 lb to 5lb+ in both species. All fish in great condition with lots of year classes. Float fished meat using a stepped up float rod and centre pin.

Nice place, good access and directions, Chub caught trotting meat and ledgered pellet. We will be back!

Strange old day on the river. There were a lot more canoes and paddle boards around than I expected. And when I arrived at my favourite swim, the first thing I had to do was go back to the car for a bin liner. See photos of what others forgot to take home with them. Fishing was ok but not a sniff from any barbel. A good few chub, none of them big, and took a photo of what turned out to be the best one. Also, had a kingfisher fishing from an overhanging tree to the right of my swim. Was amazing to sit there watching him!
