Feedback & Reports

The river had an extra meter of water on it. I fished on the bend near the mouth of the Lugg. I used feeder tactics with meat and pellet baits. The barbel weighed between 6 and 8lb.

Just a short session of around 3 hours from 1 pm. Weather mild but strong gusting wind with intermediate heavy showers. River conditions looked good with good flow/levels and colour but a lot of leaf debris constantly interfering with presentation. Had two takes on first two cast first one came unstuck almost immediately second produced a small barbel of around 5 lb then no further action.

Blank session, river was very fast full of branches and weed coming down from upper reaches.

Upon arrival at the river the flow was just ripping through so dropped in the few areas we could but called it a day after a couple of hours.

Confused & disappointed with this be beat. The map does not show a weir a third of the way up the beat (next to where you park your car). As there appears to be no foot access for this top section & the river is fenced closely on both sides it appears you can only fish the main section of the beat if you are prepared to enter the weir pool. This is about 3 - 4 feet deep before you sink in to the silt. Maybe a 6'6" guy may be happy with this but for me at 5' 5" & the water going over the weir only 10' away this does not seem a very sensible option. The bottom part of the beat is great but would not fish this beat again.
WUF Note: Our apologies that the map did not show the correct location on the weir. We have now updated the details.
