Feedback & Reports

Went over the hill and tried the two wood swims very difficult fishing here with the bank access ok if you are prepared to stand up all day, which we were not so moved swims the fish were not playing ball as no barbel caught which is what we came for but caught 9 chub of which one was 5 lbs I am sure the wind had a effect on the fishing plus the river needed some more rain/ water as not much flow.

9 Chub

River very low and clear, caught steadily all day, nothing massive, good to see plenty of small ones coming through.
Did loose a couple of big feeders to start with: went down to a small sized feeder; didn't get snagged for rest of the day.

22 Barbel, 3 Chub

A great days fishing again on this lovely stretch of river. Fished a pellet feeder and had a chub, between 2lb and 5lb, every cast from start to finish. Only 2 barbel though as the bait rarely made it through the chub to the river bed! River quite low but had a tinge of colour to it.

2 Barbel, 51 Chub

Had 3 small rainbow trout using worm . Would have caught more but the crayfish absolutely destroyed most of my attempts.

3 Trout

Three fish caught on fly and three on worm.

6 Trout

Water level low and clear good conditions caught 13lb salmon from the V very strong fish put up a good fight and when released still strong and swam off very quickly.

1 Salmon

1 perch caught on worm. Hard to catch the trout as they were more interested in the illegal powerbait fishing methods being used by the other anglers there. I think more bailiff visits are in order.

Not the days fishing we expected. We were looking forward to a days trout fishing but the river was pushing fairly hard with intermittent rain and wading was hard if not dangerous. I am in the process of learning to spey cast so in the afternoon, I decided it would be a good spot to practice. I tackled up with a size 14 low water salmon fly. I ended the day having hooked a Salmon, caught three lovely Grayling, the largest must have been near three pounds. Not a bad practice session!! All fish safely returned. More work needed on the casting but can't be doing to much wrong. A day to remember. Thank you.
