Feedback & Reports

Only two anglers today and the weather was absolutely awful, but the fishing didn't disappoint.

10 Barbel, 5 Chub

Let’s be honest this place is a very tough long walk. Beware if you’re carrying gear ! The water conditions were good. Weather was rain showers and dry grey spells all day. There is a super barbel swim with speedy gravelly water toward the bottom of the beat. Looks super salmon section . We took 1 barbel here around 7lb and lost one and took also a chub. 2 chub of 4lbs + were also taken from toward the top part of the beat just below the woods. Generally it was tough going. Luncheon meat freelined and pellets on feeder were the methods. Kingfishers seen, a white egret, no salmon.

All barbel came to feeder tactics, biggest was 9lb with a few 8’s and a couple of next gen barbel which was nice to see.

Fished the shingle beach on the right hand bank at the end of the beat without success. Scrambled down to the croy further up and were rewarded with couple of barbel (8 lb?) and a chub in the rain.

River was low so chose swims with more pace. Fish caught on pellet feeder. Did spot an otter in the middle swims before the island
