Feedback & Reports

First time on this beat for me and my son. Managed to find some juvenile barbel to keep us entertained for the day. We had a very nice day and there were numerous different swims to try, each with their own challenges. We will be back and hopefully get into the bigger fish next time! All fish taken on feeder and pellets.

Superb day despite very mixed weather. River up due to rain over previous two days (2ft on the gauge). The swim near the mouth of the Lugg produced all the fish, 2 in the late morning and the rest in the evening. All to pellet/feeder tactics. Chub a touch under 4lbs, Barbel from 4 to 6 and a half. A beautiful beat.

Again, the river was very coloured. Lots of rain and sometimes warm blue sky. I saw no fish activity all day, while lots of salmon jumps on the rectory the day before. I caught 2 trouts on cascade tubes.

River slightly up and running after Fridays rain. Fished the bottom pool and caught in the faster water with feeder and krill pellets. Fish from a pound to 6 lbs with one over 9 lbs. Canoes not a problem as they kept to the far side of river.
Great days fishing
