Feedback & Reports

Only 2 anglers fished, river still very low. Fished the Lucky Stone area. Chub were hungry all day - trotting and maggot feeder outfished “standard” Barbel tactics. Only picked up one Barbel on the float mid-morning. We thought the Barbel might arrive later in the day but they obviously had other ideas. Great to be by the river as always.

Good day the reservoir is ver very low, and I really wasn’t confident on catching, but I couldn’t have so far from wrong, Had the first one after 15 mins, then the second after half hour, put the rod down and made a bacon sarny, first cast, my third, now it’s only 11 o’clock, so tried the spinner, had my forth by 12.30 happy days. 4 lovely rainbow.

spent morning fishing lost 2 trout by net . water level very very low and very muddy and slippery

Only fished the morning, started at the bottom end of the stretch without any bites then moved to the meadow area and managed to winkle out a couple of chub on pellet. Lovely morning and the weather is great for September but we desperately need some rain for the river.

First trip to The Creel today and what a stunning stretch of river… this was our fourth and final day of our trip so only fished between 10 am and 3pm .. river running low and weather has been very hot.. we both fished feeder and fished across… a coupe of decent chub were followed my my friend netting two 4lb Barbel… considering how hard the river has fished all week this was a great result. Lovely to see a big common in the near side margin .. can’t wait to return for a full session
