Feedback & Reports

Fished using a method feeder (11.00 through to 17.45) and also tried trotting float, using small boilies and luncheon meat cubes. Very Low water, lots and lots of snagging weed on the River bed. No fish caught today.

Another great evenings fishing, 3 barbel. Light bomb, 10mm bollie fished over loose feed pellets and bollies did the trick again. Thanks to Stephan for creating a stunning fishery.

3 Barbel

Nothing caught, if someone could leave the directions to the island swim would be greatful, didn't find the access point.

Generally cloudy. Occasional sun and rain.

No actual hatches of note and relatively few rises but the fish rose quite well to size 16 dry flies on a very long leader.

River probably close to historic lows. Most of day, float fished fast gulley towards upstream limit. Number of chub and one small barbel with one larger fish lost. In evening feeder fishing getting more chub up to nearly 5lb and two barbel up to 9lb and another lost. Beautiful stretch.

Mainly fished dry fly and a duo setup. Netted one small brownie caught on the point fly, a small copper John.
River fairly low comparatively although higher than previous weeks. River provided flats, riffles and pocket water to keep us interested. Fish seen rising above and below the small rapid section in the middle. A lovely spot.
