Feedback & Reports

A very warm day so it was always going to be reduced chances of hooking anything. Arrived early, just as mist was clearing - a few fish showing. Couldn't tempt anything though. Quietened further in the afternoon.

The beat is bookable for four rods but i think this would only work for a party of four friends. There were two other fishermen today which made it all a bit tight. A nice day on the water nonetheless.

Arrived after lunch so limited choice of swims. River low, clear and slow. Looking forward to tomorrow if the cloud moves in.

No sign of any carp, either visibly or in terms of bites, when using pellets, corn or meat. Though the lack of success with the carp could say more about the fisher than the fish. Plenty of smaller fish about though, esp roach and ?hybrids. Easy access to both fishery and the water. Fished by the oak tree at the far end if only coz it offered shade on an unseasonally hot day. Water cloudy (pres. due to the cattle?) and visibility zero.

Not the best day, arrived at the location, got into the full kit and headed down towards the water. As I followed the stream up I found a dead sheep lying in the water. It looked like it had been there probably for a couple of days so that instantly was a bit of worry, conditions weren’t very good and the area didn’t look like it had been looked after at all. Honestly after probably about an hour I gave up, conditions weren’t correct, the dead animal in the water, the area itself. Just wasn’t for me. Being truthful and honest I wouldn’t recommend this area for a days fishing.
