Feedback & Reports

Got there midday just as it started raining heavily. Tried ledgering pellet and bollies but the weed was a problem and made it very difficult to fish. Not many swims on this stretch and couple with adverse weather it was not a productive afternoon.

Was really looking forward to this best but it turned out to not be a great day. Given the river levels are so low, much of the beat was simply inaccessible. In fact the first half down to the gardens had no access. We fished 3-4 swims opposite the botanical gardens, feeding up swims ahead of fishing but barely had 2 feet of water. Various methods and baits but not even a twitch. The weather was pouring with rain and blowing a Gale.

Would try again but when levels are higher. We both blanked which was a real disappointment given the previous days excellent catches from How Caple Court.

Lovely stretch with friendly and helpful bailiff and a good selection of swims. Fishing was a little slow on the day though. We struggled in general this week. One small barbel early on and a couple of chub later in the day.
