Feedback & Reports

The fishing wasn’t as good as I was hoping after the recent rain with only fish up to 13” coming to the net. A variety of up wings were coming of along with sedge but not in any great numbers and the rises were sporadic. A size 18 cdc pale watery worked well. Two open ( Canadian) canoeists came through and one of them got a bit confrontational when I asked if they had checked the red line on the webcam.

Fished afternoon & evening, using nymph. Water and weather looked very promising, with the river falling slowly after recent rain, but the fish didn't seem hungry. Nothing at all in the afternoon, and one brown trout of about 6oz in the evening. Nice day, though, and no Himalayan Balsam on this beat!

Much better conditions allowing for all methods to be used. We had a good day with fish feeding all day. One large eel about 4lb killed one swim but fish were moving throughout the beat. Parking good and day access made for a great day

River was up and coloured and had a decent flow . Had nothing in the morning other than a few unstrikeable plucks probably from small chub , but from 1 pm it kicked off with a violent wrench round on the rod tip signalling the barbel were on the feed. Caught chub and barbel steadily throughout the afternoon / early evening . meat seemed to be the tasty morsel of the day . The only negative for me on this fishery was the track getting to and from . steep barely describes the ascent/descent and I had a lot of wheel spin on the gravel track at the steepest parts and felt that this would be ok for 4WD but not a 2WD .but thats just my opinion. I didn't want to get stuck and find someone to tow me out so didnt go back the following day that I had booked. But I would add that the fishery is great and would ask if there was anywhere else to park and perhaps walk to get to the fishery ?

Block booked the Beat. River up 3ft and fairly coloured. We fished at the top end. A bit disappointing fishing wise as conditions seemed perfect. Looking forward to a week of fishing on this lovely river. Whitehouse is one of my favourite beats despite the mud bath through the farm yard !
