Feedback & Reports

The weather was sunny/cloud. The river condition was good. Blanked, tried every method and nothing worked. Not even any takes. Disappointing but just one of those days.

River up slightly, fish caught on pellet wagler and feeder. Be warned this is a very snaggy stretch lots of feeders lost on snags. This is a very good stretch with good access but is very expensive tackle wise.

No salmon caught. Red fish seen jumping am. Conditions were good; clearing water and river falling. Couple of fish seen splashing up (running?) the pools by the foot bridge. No chases or takes on fly or spinner.
One unidentifiable fish caught on spinner. Like a Chubb but with translucent face and tuna type tail. Course fishermen shown but they could not identify it either. If you want to see photos of that fish please send an email address you want them sent to. All fish released.
Sorry about delay getting back to you but I was locked out of my email.

Perfect conditions for a late afternoon/evening session on the river, extra foot or so of clearing water with little or no debris washing through. 11 barbel, 2x 9lb, 3x 8.5lb+, 2x 8lb, a 7lb, a 6lb and 2x 5lb and 9 chub of 3lb-4lb. Amazing fishing on an amazing bit of river! Back in two weeks.

River dropping but still very high, but becoming clearer. All fish caught on luncheon meat. Met bailiff at river, he was very helpful. This has become my regular second day venue after a stop over. A good stretch.
