Feedback & Reports

Great weather and a fantastic setting for this first of 2 days. Action packed first hour with barbel of 10.5lb and 7.5lb, followed by a lull until the late afternoon when 4 chub came to the net from 4lb to 5.25lb. Nice to have the landowner show so much interest and listen to constructive feedback as to how to improve this venue still further (basically, please open up more swims in the downstream section as it looks fabulous but there was no way to fish the bottom half of the beat at all).

Plenty coming to the surface downstream of Chainbridge road bridge, didn't see any upstream.

Cool upstream wind kept things quiet with only a few rises until around 5pm when it dropped off and flies hatched in enough numbers to get the trout feeding. Three trout between the two of us, (two about half pound and one at three quarters), all on different dries.
All fish released.
