Feedback & Reports

Chub on the small size, up to about 2lb, mostly taken trotting. Stopped using maggots due to the number of out of season trout about 6-12oz. Perhaps there ought to be a trout fly fishing permit availain season?
Entertained for a while by an otter slowly fishing its way upstream - I for one am more than happy to share the river with them. All in all an enjoyable day, even though I couldn't find the bigger fish.

Arrived early morning in very foggy conditions. The river looked good with a bit of pace and good colour. Fished one peg only and caught 3 barbel of almost identical size 7lb 2oz, 2 Chubb at 4lb and 1 smaller.
Sun came out at around 12.30 and bites dried up but started again latish afternoon. A thoroughly enjoyable day.

Fished a few swims in the lower field below the wood with a cage feeder and meat or pellet as hookbait. Had a small chub and a 5lb 4oz barbel in the morning mist, but the rest of the day was dead - no knocks despite moving around, until one last small chub. Very difficult to access swims in the furthest field.

Caught barbel after advice from a fellow angler on same beat, both caught on 12mm crab pellet , biggest 7lb , lovely stretch and ropes down to swims a great help.

From 5 degrees and thick fog to 17 and t-shirt in the afternoon. Started at the top orchard section. Only one accessible swim and a couple of small chub later moved down to the meadow section where things got better. Roved along the stretch taking fish from every swim tried.
Best barbel 9.2. Most chub between 1-2lb but a couple of 4 plussers too. A thoroughly enjoyable day.

What a lovely beat and hasn't there been a lot of work done to it! We block booked this beat, so there were three anglers on it and a great day was had by all.

This was our 2nd day at White House and fished the upper stretch, 1 small Barbel and small Chub early nothing until later with 2 good size chub. Previous day we had fished off the concrete edge the with no success so moved lower down to the shingle Bank with 3 good sized chub up to 5lb all later on. All in all a lovely peaceful place to fish (extraction pump NOT running) but could benefit from some work to the upper stretch for access/more swims, as the bank is fairly steep, however can't wait to return.

3 Decent Barbel (5lb14oz, 6lb 1oz and 7lb 8oz) and one around a pound. All the Chub were very decent in the 3lb - 5lb class, and a Pike of around 7lb caught on a Pellet.
Lovely day to be on the bank but fishing was pretty slow with a Barbel first cast of the day and one last cast of the day and the others spaced pretty evenly throughout.
A good Salmon was crashing about in one of the pools, celebrating the end of the Salmon fishing season no doubt?
