Feedback & Reports

We last fished this stretch almost 20 years ago so it was nice to make a return.
Vehicle access is slightly different to what is illustrated on the map, but clearly defined so no chance of going wrong.

Unfortunately, the barbel didn't want to know. I had one small chub on the float early on and another around 3lb on the feeder later, while my fishing partner didn't have a sniff.

Still a very pleasant evening in lovely surroundings, but this is a stretch I won't return to until this abysmal weather breaks and we get more water.

2 Chub

Ongoing heat wave, one brown trout at about 8”, the other three at about 4”, caught trying to fish spiders across and down.

4 Trout

All fish were caught in the evening through to dusk on a variety of baits.

13 Barbel, 30 Chub

Roasting hot and with the river being very low blanked, we bought a ticket to the elevated river gardens opposite to get a better vantage over the beat and saw a shoal of chub at the end of the bend, tried for them when we got back to the swim but to no avail. Stunning setting none the less. Thanks WUF

Started at 06:00 in the woods with 4 small chub in the first hour, they everything stopped. I change from pellets to meat brought one bite and an eel! Decided to pack-up at 11:00 and go watch the football. The river was very low.
Returned at 19:00 and immediately started catching chub. Had 6 in the first hour, then the barbell eventually started to feed. Between 20:00 and 22:00, I had 7 barbel and a couple more chub, all on pellet.
