Feedback & Reports

A very hot day. Thomas Wood not really as advertised. Very few accessible swims, we walked the entire beat and found maybe 4/5 in total. Largely steep overgrown banks but a "wild fishery" certainly. If you are with a pal be prepared to be a good distance apart. Fish not feeding in warm water. More canoes and kayaks than you could shake a stick at - but generally respectful. One big fish lost and one good chub on the bank.

Booking Office note: Thank you for your feedback, the fishery owner has been informed.

One 11" trout caught on a size 16 weighted PNT, and a few small trout. water levels low, but an enjoyable challenge. |I found a few deep pools, but lots are inaccessable because of over hanging trees. Good to see lots of trout fry (or salmon?)

Disappointing lack of available pegs, I counted 4 , 3 near the top of the length and 1 at the rope pool. Not much choice when 3 of us were fishing. 1 rod caught 4 barbel near the top including 3 in successive casts and another barbel came from the rope pool. The river had an algal bloom and was a dirty brown colour.
