Feedback & Reports

Fished from noon to 5.30pm, 3 grayling to 13" and two OOS trout, largest just over 13", all on nymphs. Did try a Daddy-long-legs too but only got bites from some tiddly grayling on that, not hooked - I think they were trying to take the legs off one by one :D Some sparse mayfly hatches late afternoon, but generally quiet. Connected briefly with a larger fish which gave a couple of heavy head shakes...and my barbless hook popped out - Sod's Law that was the only one that slipped off! Beautiful beat, nice to see the care that has gone into the banksides - hardly any Himalayan balsam to be seen which is very refreshing (I made a further dent in the few left!). Thanks for a lovely day out and look forward to visiting again.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

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.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

Coloured water made things difficult at the Rectory today.

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?

4 Barbel, 4 Chub, 1 Pike

Caught no fish again!

Swimfeeder maggot and meat earned a barbel to 3lb plus four small chub....
The beat is very tranquil and catching is a bonus.......

2 Barbel, 4 Chub

Chub below the woods, 2 to bread on the float remainder to meat on the lead, couldn't get the Barbel interested, most of the Chub didn't show till late on.

14 Chub
