Feedback & Reports

River with good height, flow and colour, weather cloudy and mild. Perfect for an evening's fishing, I thought. So did every small chub on the beat! I had continuous bites on pellet until I just ignored them and when I changed to meat they simply robbed the bait. I must have lost as many as I actually landed, largely because they half-hooked themselves. I did manage a couple of smallish barbel between the chub and lost a really good one when the hook pulled after about a minute.

Fished the evening only from 6:30 to 9:00, one barbel only, but a beauty at 9lb 4.

Quick evening session. A couple of hours was plenty of time to cover the whole beat and was undisturbed by dog walkers etc. Water levels were a bit low, but some very deep pools. Caught a brace of lovely brownies on a size 14 PTN with a bit of orange fritz on the thorax. Lost one other and saw a few fish rising. Fished with a 7' 6" 3wt rod. Access to the brook was no problem and easily wadable. Highly recommended!

Fish caught in the morning and late afternoon with a lull early afternoon. All from the Salmon Hut Swim.
Biggest was 8 1/2 lb. All fish were immaculate falling to feeder and pellet. River level was slowly dropping and becoming clearer. What a place to fish. Absolute beauty and the perfect place to spend a day.
B.L caught 8 to S.M 2!

Great day and first time on this beat. River looked great. Moved around to catch all day. Barbel to over 9lb and Chub to just under 5lb. Other was a small eel on meat. Exhausted but very happy.

13 barbel 35 chub.A challenging 4 days but very enjoyable,had a nice chat with Colin.

Fished from 8.30am through till 1.30pm. Another good session with 5 barbel to 8lb and a couple of chub around the 3lb mark. Majority of fish on pellet, though the smallest barbel of the day at around 2.5lb fell to a chopped down Krill boilie.
