Feedback & Reports

Lovely evening on the river, plenty of fish rising but wouldn’t take anything I put in front of them. Frustrating yet enjoyable evening in a lovely spot.

One barbel hooked and lost. No weed compared to previous years

Three anglers fished this beat on a hot and sunny day. The water was a bit low, but one lucky angler landed three Barbel with the first three casts of the day using feeder and pellet to the far bank.

Very low, almost not moving in the deeper sections.
Seem to have a knack of picking very bright hot days and seeing almost no rises and catching nothing. I did have a knock on a GRHE on the final lift before recast but that was it. Lovely day though.
I have to agree with some previous reports regarding clearing some of the trees. It makes fishing some areas impossible.
Also after the first field the left bank walking downstream needs clearing. It will be impassible soon.

River was in fine fettle and the Chub were obliging until the Canoes started. I would honestly say that 95% of them did not even acknowledge I was there and many of them took no action at all to move to the other side of the river and avoid my line. Gave up and came home.
