Feedback & Reports

Arrived to find venue still affected by peaty water although level and weather favourable. Fishing proved difficult with just one decent barbel and nine small fish. Caught chub and dace on float for a break from losing feeders in the many snags! Clearly this venue has potential on the right day and with more awareness of how to navigate around the rocky bottom. All barbel caught on feeder with various pellet based hook baits.

First time I've fished The Creel. Beautiful stretch of river.
River was low and still running off slightly.
I had 1 Barbel and 7 nice chub.

Hopefully for great things,water perfect ,only saw one salmon move so maybe they have all run further up the river,or I am in need of a guide.try again tomorrow further up the river.

The score carried on but SM sealed the victory 11-6. Barbel fishing slowed down today but the chub were great sport. An amazing stretch and two amazing days fishing. River was high and just held bottom with 3 oz feeders. All fish caught on Pellet.

Great day on the Upper Bigsweir beat despite no fish caught. Some fish showing but not catchable. My thanks to Nathan for his guidance. Will definitely come again. Lovely stretch of river.

Dull and mild day, river a little dark (peaty black), used standard feeder tactics. 4 barbel to 10lbs 4ozs. Fabulous fish as always, very enjoyable day.
