Feedback & Reports

Both caught barbel and chub but a slightly frustrating day. Raps on the rod tip in every swim we fished which rarely came to anything positive and I suspect were from small chub. With a different approach I'm sure you could have really good day on the float on this beat.

6 Barbel, 3 Chub

Beautiful fishing and stunning surroundings. Will be back again.

12 Chub

Good day again

3 Trout

Nymphing (Czech/French). All fish mostly caught in the fast moving water. River level appeared good, and clear. First time we fished the beat so not possible to compare it to other times of the year or river levels.

Two fish caught on worm with popup.

2 Trout

8lb and a bright silver grilse about 4lb

2 Salmon

A very fit 25" ( EA scale: 6 lb ) Silver cock fish Caught on a single hook FC.
Much easier to unhook in the water and less damage than a treble. Went back well.

1 Salmon

The stretch had very fast water despite level having dropped. Nevertheless an enjoyable day catching a few barbel and chub.

Having only a small chub for a long morning fishing it was off to re-charge the batteries in the Bridge Inn for a long lunch. Having discussed tactics with the other rods it was suggested to try a sunray in the gravel catch. It took four casts before the reel was screaming only to spit the fly after a airborne cartwheel. I tried again and a slightly coloured cock fish around the 10lb mark was caught and released from just above the power wires.
