Feedback & Reports

A beautiful early morning start led to 1 brown trout taking a motana caught late morning. I let the current bring the fly through the fast flow and the fish took after a few casts. A few knocks the rest of the day, some regular locals gave some very friendly and helpful advice which was very welcoming.
I will be returning to this beat :)

Really enjoyable day roving down the river. There were 3 of us. One on float and pellet and 2 on feeder and meat/pellet. The river was quite low and clear but still had a reasonable flow.
Most of the chub came to the float rod up to about 3lb. Biggest chub on the feeder was also 3lb. Sadly no barbel and no sightings either, however a surprise 2lb perch on pellet made our day.

11 x trout 6-8 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. Stream may have risen a bit during Saturday's rain, but summer low levels and clear water again now.

4 hooked but only landed the 1. Dry day with sunny spells and low wind.

Fished the right bank for a few hours. Poor prospects with 7’’ on the gauge and the river carrying a copper tinge presumably after the weekend rain. A few small trout and a few escapees on various nymphs in the faster water but it was hard going.

A tough day. The barbel came spasmodically throughout the day but our baits were intercepted mainly by chub. All fish caught on straight lead and PVA bags. Packed up half an hour early, at prime time, when our PVA bags ran out.

6 Barbel, 29 Chub
