Feedback & Reports

Good start off the last Croy with 4 nice chub before it went quiet. All to feeder tactics. Tried rolling meat for the first time but no joy. It went quiet, so a quick chat to another angler saw me moving downstream where I got 2 small chub, small barbel and lost a good one to a hook pull. The afternoon spent trotting the float in where I got pointed to by the said angler. Not only spot and tactics but he also got me sorted with some spare tackle. Gent!! If you're reading it, thanks again! Got 11 chub and a barbel in the evening. Amazingly well kept beat.

2 Barbel, 17 Chub

River low but v clear. Cold biting wind and persistent rain all morning but eased a little in the afternoon.
Trout taken upstream nymphing (x2) on silver size 16 perdigon, downstream nymphing (x2) olive bead head nymph and two others. Some salmon parr too. All in all, a satisfactory day . improved by judiciously timed cups of tea and the odd fish or two.

River low and clear but a cloudy day saw a few fish feeding in afternoon and evening,Barbel of decent size 6 lbs up to 8.5 lbs,Chub were 3-4 lbs

8 Barbel, 3 Chub

A difficult day due to low water levels, cool morning temperatures and long periods of bright sunshine in the afternoon. We stayed mobile to eventually find some fish in the faster flowing areas. Lost a few decent fish to braided hook lengths being cut on sharp rocks but we did land a few fish including Barbel to 9lb 10oz and Chub to 3lb 6oz. All caught on a pretty standard pellet/groundbait feeder approach.
