Feedback & Reports

First visit here and thought I had picked the wrong day when I arrived to torrential rain. Had a cup of Tea in the car waiting for the rain to stop which it did around 11.30. Fished left from the boat house and had interest from the start.
Fished 2 flies Bibio and Butcher both size 12. Excellent average size of fish with the smallest around 8 inch but most 10 to 12 inches. Sport slowed in the afternoon as the sun got stronger and I called it a day around 4.

Took an evening ticket on this lovely beat. Began fishing at 6: rose but did not hook a number of fish. At about 7.15, a nice rise began and I had four trout ( 10-12 inches) all of which took a para Adams. Left the river at 8.00.

Nathan the Ghille was brilliant but despite his advice no salmon.

Conditions exactly the same as the day before but for whatever reason only 1 fish caught on pellet and feeder

An interesting day! Fish were not in the usual areas so we had to go hunting. Managed to find two nice barbel. Had to make a swift escape as the heavens opened up in order to get out of the bottom field only to be confronted by the whole herd of cows blocking our exit on the road out of the field and some angry looking bulls. When they eventually moved on,after about an hour, the path out was very slippy and we only just managed to get the cars out. Future anglers should be aware of this if it is wet.

Fished from 3-8pm. River very low and clear with lots of weed making things difficult. 2 barbel 7-8lb and 5 good chub, 4 of them 4lb+. Also lost 2 barbel in the weed. All taken on groundbait feeder with boilie hookbait.
