Feedback & Reports

Fished a variety of swims in the upper part of the beat all fish falling throughout the days fishing with no breaks in the bites. River was spot on coloured up, a bit of pace and up in height.

Fished a ledgered boilie hookbait and pellet feeder. Barbel were from 2lb - 8lb and the chub all in the 1lb - 3lb range. Great fun on my favourite beat and despite scaling the gear down it still made me sweat on the walk to and from the car.

Great to see two small barbel in the 2lb range caught.

8 Barbel, 34 Chub

We fished from 7am until 3pm and the Barbel came steadily with pellet and feeder tactics. River was coloured and in excellent condition. Some Barbel still had some spawn. Biggest was 8LB 4oz with the smallest being 5LB. We only fished the 5 swims in the main field below the orchard. Would return here as it is an excellent fishery.

5 Barbel, 4 Chub

Lovely stretch of river. Difficult wading due to rocky boulders on river bed and steep sides. small trout caught .

Fished on 26/06 with little success but conditions looked much better today. Unfortunately the fish were just not feeding, very odd as water had dropped considerably and had cleared. Quite unbelievably we did not have a bite between us. Beware of the snag in bottom swim, I can only assume its a tree as was snagging up from level with the post on the far bank for 20-25yds down stream.
