Feedback & Reports

The river had changed a bit since I was last here. No monsters today but good numbers of grayling to about a pound and trout to one and a quarter. All but one came to dries with some fish in surprisingly shallow water. Another enjoyable day on a great beat.

5 Trout, 13 Grayling

5 Barbel, 7 Chub

nothing caught...the sun must have been giving the barbel sunstroke

Cold start, then a sunny and warm day. River in good condition, still up a bit and good flow.
During the day fished both upstream of the wood and for a few hours ventured over the hill to fish downstream. Returned above the wood in mid afternoon to fish at the top of the beat just d/stream of the bend. Both barbel were caught from here in the last couple of hours. The chub came from all areas fished throughout the day best was 4lb.
Fished ledgered pellet or small 12mm boils with pellets in a pva bag.

Couple of runs through Lady Alexander's: Water at perfect height of 1'8", nice tinge of colour but no takers. Also no fish seen either. Beautiful warm evening, water @ 13 degrees.

Sunny and calm day, river quite high and running fast but clear. Plenty of flies hatching but few rises, prospected with paras. Trout still wary so missed quite a few, landed 4, 1 at 7", 2 very nice ones at 11", and one beautifully marked and fighting fit at 14". Could only hold on with my 6 ft. rod at first! Great last trout of my season, roll on next year.....

Nice day out, river fining down after floods. Only had 2 barbel including one first cast though the second was a decent 10lb 6oz. Several missed bites late on from chub most likely. Caught on pellet but maybe should have used meat also
