Feedback & Reports

Rather miserable weather; nothing rising. The water was clear enough to see a couple of reasonable trout hurtling up or down the river in an uncatchable way. The river is difficult to access: the bank is guarded by an electric fence and there is a sheer drop in many places down 2 or 3 feet of slippery clay into 2 or three feet of water. Can be tricky to climb out again. The bottom has very silty patches, which are good for mayfly but not for humans. Farmer very friendly and helpful.

We had a great day , and caught 24 chub mostly between 3 and 4 pounds with three 5 pounds and just one barbel about 6 lb best chub fishing for many years ! We met a very helpful bailiff called Stefan with lots of useful knowledge of the fishing , it was a great days fishing for my son and I and we are back again tomorrow ( can’t wait)????

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

River very low. First time on this beat. The weather was wet and windy with almost no insects coming off. Very tricky fishing: river impassable in some places near the top of the beat. Managed a few small trout on a dry plus one better one from the pool by the farm just above Cregrina Bridge.

Weather was warm and sunny. River had some colour but quite low. Lots of chub caught in the faster water, barbel and an eel caught in the first couple of pegs of the beat.
