Feedback & Reports

Not many swims available to fish on this beat, the croy seems further away each time but a nice day and a friend had his first barbel.

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

7 Barbel, 8 Chub

Fished from 11am to 4:30pm on a warm, sunny and cloudy day. River running low and clear with few flies about and only two small fish seen rising.
I had an unexpectedly great days fishing catching 19 trout and losing about ten more. Most of the fish were about 5-8 inches with a few bigger ones, including one of around 12 inches. All were caught fishing upstream on a long French nymphing leader with two tungsten beaded PT/HE nymphs. Most of the fish came from deep water with a good flow.
Note: if you cross the small footbridge and turn right, watch out for a 6 inch high strip of barbed wire across the path that goes through the undergrowth. It's about 25 yards from the bridge and seems to be part of an old collapsed fence.

Two nice fish caught in quick succession at about 9:30pm. Plenty of fish activity. The river was quite low so many of the pools had little flow in them.

Very bright and scorching hot day, not much movement. Wife caught first ever barbel, 6lb 7oz. Peace and quiet spoilt by a tractor running a pump on opposite bank all day. Having said its still nice to be by the river.

Great days fishing landing 9 barbel up to 9lbs and 15 chub. Top half of the stretch next to the brook outlet was the area to fish in the evening. Will be back.

1 perch, 1 small brown trout - both returned.
Booking system fine, but requirement to print details not always possible if on holiday. Would suggest you recommend electronic capture instead.
