Feedback & Reports

Afternoon/evening session, overcast and looked ideal, barbel and chub fell to swim fed pellet or meat.

No salmon caught or seen. Probably would have benefited from more water, but a very enjoyable beat to fish nonetheless.

Nice fishery with a limited amount of swims - realistically more than 2 anglers would struggle, fished the bottom end of the stretch using the usual methods - they liked a lot of bait!
I would be concerned going to this stretch after any reasonable amount of rain as the road leading down to the bank is VERY steep, it has a gravel surface but would still become slippery - I have a golf estate and I wouldn't attempt it after bad weather.
Enjoyable days fishing though.

Three small trout through the day, and one nice one of about 1¼lbs next to the run at the very head of a pool early on, before the gusty wind got up. All on downstream nymph. I was hoping to try a dry fly, but saw no rises to speak of.
