Feedback & Reports

Fished early and late as way too hot during day. River pitifully low and full of algae and blanketweed. Rain needed badly. Eels active making maggot fishing difficult. Just one barbel of 8.13 at dusk.

River level low. Lots of weed. Unable to find clear spots to fish and could not present a bait with any satisfaction. Not surprised at the reports of dead barbel being found, water temperature very warm. No fish of any species seen all day.

Tough going on a very low river. We had to work hard to get bites, but managed to find a few fish from different areas using a roving approach. All fish to freelined meat. Other fish were eels.

Gratefully a bit cooler than the previous day. Feeder fishing was the only method used. In addition to the barbel an eel was caught. Best barbel was probably about 8lb.

Very similar conditions to yesterday and fishing just as slow. Just two barbel (6lb and 8lb) on pellet from one of the swims in the woods.

Fished here for the morning with no fish or bites, river very low with plenty of silk weed clogging the tackle making fishing virtually impossible.
