Feedback & Reports

6 rainbow trout all about a 1lb and 3 small browns. All returned safely.
Res very low muddy underfoot.

Unfortunately I couldn't park my van near the Water works as not enough room to turn it around, so parked in the public car park in lower Lydbrook.
Had 2 chub rolling meat from Tump Run before thunder and lightning stopped play.

Tried to access middle and upper beat from other car park -( parking 3) which is currently between temporary lights.
Walked down the path to find private access and no fishing signs?
Maybe this needs looking at..?

2 Chub

Fished Widdybank on a beautiful misty morning. My insect repellent did little to stop the midges but fortunately the wind picked up keeping them at bay

Cracking fishing, if I had worked my time better I would have had way more. Came off the beat early due to a thunderstorm. Would recommend to anyone.

Started fishing at lunch and loads of chub on the float. They took everything apart from pellet. Finally got a barbel from this stretch and it was a beauty. Rolled meat to get past the chub. Great day. Incredible bit of water.

First time fishing in the rain for a long time. We arrived late and set up in between showers but the fish were not interested in our selection of baits (possibly due to the change in water temp ?). Eventually tempted a few Perch on small cubes of meat to save a blank. A well managed fishery with ropes at the top of the bank to make the slippery decent to the river safer.
We will return!

With the water temperature dropping we decided to fish while we were staying at Nature's nest, we caught early morning from just inside the gate on the third field after clearing the swim the night before, float fished in the faster water in the top field for a cracking day's fishing most fish fell to waggler and pellet and went to just under 5 pounds. Will definitely be back.
