Feedback & Reports

Took advantage of the evening ticket offer for a few hours after work - fished from about 7.30pm until about 9.30pm at which point I had to concede defeat to the failing light in my attempt to tie on a new fly. River had lifted an inch and water temps had dropped a few degrees from their highs last week - everything certainly felt a little fresher,
and fishier. Although it was pretty quiet for the first hour, from then on there were plenty of confident and consistent risers to target with a little BWO pattern. Caught 6 ,including a cracking grayling of 15.5 inches, and lost/missed a couple more.

Started off at 7.30am in the nearest swim to the car park just before the bend. Had a couple of barbel on feeder/pellet before moving into the woods at around 10am. Fished the swim with the big Boulder as the water was much faster there. Started on the feeder and caught a few chub. Switched to the float for a few hours and caught plenty more chub. Most of them were around the 4lb mark but nothing any bigger. Couldn’t tempt a barbel on the float. It was quite snaggy there and lost a couple of feeders and hook links. Caught a barbel on the feeder before heading back to the swim by the car park for the evening. Caught barbel steadily from 6pm till around 9pm on feeder and pellet. Lovely beat as usual and was a lovely day. The walk to the woods is a bit of a killer if you have a bit of tackle/bait etc with you. However, it’s bearable and worth it as I think that’s where most of the fish are during the day due to the more oxygenated water. Will definitely be back.

8 Barbel, 20 Chub

Fished a very low river.
Caught 6 chub up to 1lb from 6-10am then packed up as river is still in need of rain.
First time on that stretch & thought it was very nice

I fishes beat 4 in the quicker water and moved to beat 5 but you could literally see the bottom in every peg..

Was just nice to be on the bank.

6 Chub

Lost 2 on a spinner very quiet when was this last stocked?

1 Trout

Most came to team of wet flies (Peter Ross, Dunkeld, Invicta). Evening rise to pale watery.
