Feedback & Reports

Moved downstream from the woods and had a bit better success than the previous day. Started with a snapped hook (First time ever) to a powerful barbel that was on for 20-30 seconds at least then picked up 3 chub and a foul hooked minnow. All the chub fell to spicy luncheon meat and were 3 1/4, 4 and 5lb 1oz- a very long lean fish that fell towards the end of the afternoon. Constantly distracted by a multitude of kingfishers opposite, missed a few good bites as a result.
Not as prolific as usual but enough to keep things interesting and always a beautiful spot to while away a day.

Me and my fishing buddy caught a total of 8 Trout and four Grayling on to top end of this stretch, near the iron road bridge. The river was in nice condition, fairly clear but it was evident that the level had been a lot higher more recently. Bright sun for most of the day. All fish were caught trotting maggots. According to the info and map, you can fish both banks of the river both above and below the road bridge, but I was very disappointed to discover that I could not gain access to the water on the right hand bank (standing on the bridge and facing upstream), because of a fairly substantial wire fence topped by barbed wire.

Ledgered meat did the trick!!
The river was flowing just right but dont take nothing for granted at this time of year, we knew it wasnt going to be easy!!!
Our first day was 2 barbel to 5lb...
And 4 chub to just over the 4lb...
Not a bad start to our 4 day session...

Fantastic beat loads of fishing river was very low so fishing a little slow but will definitely return in the future

1 Trout, 7 Barbel, 6 Chub

Great to see Mick he is full of good advice and even on a beat that was short of fish found a couple that showed but would not take. He guidance on lines flies and choice of where to fish saves a lot of time. Thank you Mick see you next year.
