Feedback & Reports

Arrived at 05.30am maps and directions were excellent as usual, river was extremely low & the weather had changed overnight from a predicted cool & cloudy day to a very hot sunny day and boy was the fishing hard, it was hard enough trying to find water deep enough never mind trying to find holding fish and long enough before they got spooked by the splash of my lead. Sure enough second cast in the first pool got me a fish before it went dead, moved very quickly into my next swim and sure enough first cast got me another fish until sun was high in the sky and struggled for the next 4 hours walking up and down the beat trying to locate fish, tried the usual methods and bait, pellet, meat & boilie.
Thanks WUF and Land Owner for providing excellent access to an excellent river, will be back again soon, after some well earned rain! ll

Czech nymphing method, seen lots of fish., normal river levels.

8 Trout

Raised one to a dry, but did not stick. Found lots of fish in the deeper holes but they are extremely skittish at the moment.

One Barbel, one good chub of about 4lb and lots of smaller chub and dace trotting corn, will defiantly go back when there is a bit more water in the river!

Weather forecast changed overnight (nothing new there!) from predicted cool overcast conditions into hot, muggy sunny day, so i was not expecting a red letter day!
Arrived at 05.30am, struggled to find fish let alone water deep enough to fish, when i did caught a large Chub and small Barbel very early on, fished a number of pools but i suspect each time a cast my lead in i would spook the shoal, therefore the first cast would be the only time i would catch, and true to form it ended that way, tried all baits and usual methods but one the sun broke through bites dried up, persevered until mid-day when increased canoe traffic became unacceptable then when home early to watch the F1.
Thanks again WUF and Land Owner for allowing us access to such a great stretch of river.

Had a few hours free to check out this beat in a setting unfamiliar to me, very overgrown and only accessible by walking along the stream bed itself. Knew the water would be low after the hot weather, but didn't expect it to be that low! Had a nice walk along the beat length and saw a few small fish but nothing worth pursuing. Nice secluded spot, I imagine a good spot at other times of the year.

Nothing seen or caught. Beautiful surroundings, however, so no hard feelings!
