Feedback & Reports

Only one rod fished due to last minute drop outs, but I didn’t mind. Got there mid afternoon and headed straight for the beach at the far end. Had 3 barbel in first 3 casts fishing a feeder tight to the trees where the flow starts to pick up and move under them. I then rested it and had a walk to decide a new swim as it had died, but on return had another fish first Chuck and by casting further down and tighter managed another two before dusk. Very strange no chub problems until dusk when they suddenly switched on or came out from under the trees. I did lose 3 more barbel throughout day pulling hard to stop them getting under trees, but just hook pulls.

It’s not cheap but the access and size and numbers of barbel are good. My first fish was around 6lb and the rest were between 8/10lb. I only weighed one fish when I realised my scales took the same batteries as my head torch at 8lb 2oz and it was def not the biggest of the day by any means.

First time at this beat, and it is a gem! Plenty of swims well prepared, including one with 2 bottles of Bishops Finger. Was I right to leave them be or was it a bonus for the early risers? Fished 06:00 to 09:00, three Chub 3lb to 5lb on meat. Went quiet at around 08:00. Returned in the evening, nothing doing an various baits until I tried Cheese! 1 barbel, 8lb 3oz, thought it was bigger but not a Barbel weight expert so used the scales. Very pleased. Thank You.
