Feedback & Reports

After a few hours on Legg Meadow for just an eel and a chub I moved into the woods and was hopeful when the first cast produced a barbel but it was a bit slow and bites were few and far between with just 3 more barbel and a chub over the following 6 hours.
Disappointingly there was quite a bit of rubbish in the swims along Legg Meadow including beer cans, newspaper and fishing related packaging. Is it too much to expect anglers to respect the environment and tidy up after themselves?

I got 4 chub 3lb to 4lb . My father got 1 barbel 6lb and 3lb chub. The river was in good condition. But the swims could have been a bit better,
They were over grown. Long walk to swims. My father is 88. But we enjoyed the fishing.

Fished from mid day to 7 pm at bottom of beat by the Lugg. Started immediate with 2 small barbel, 1 to pellet, 1 on meat. Then went off for a while but soon we had the chub. 2 on meat and 3 on pellet. AB then caught regular 5 small chublets on pellet nothing bigger than 6 ounces.
Met with Glyn who was very helpful. A well kept fishery with relative easy access even for us old'uns. The river wasn't performing today.............

Another hard day, river badly needs a bit of fresh water. 1 barbel and 2 chub caught on the float (great fun). A further 2 chub caught on the feeder.

We fished on Middle Hill Court, it was a very wet day and the fishing was very difficult. We managed 2 good Barbel about 8lbs and 5 chub the best was about 4lbs. So a decent catch given the conditions.

I do like this peaceful beat. A lovely setting and lots of swims to go at. We were heading home after our four days so packed up at 5pm so could have had more. One swim produced four barbel for my friends while I did a bit of roving for my fish after a great looking swim produced nothing. All happy to each catch barbel on every beat we visited.
Back next month. Yippee !!

Lot of fish rising but blank day

River low and clear.Fished the Livox stream on gillie Joe's advice. Full floating line, 15ft. 12lbs. Leader and size 14 silver stoat.Hooked and returned a 12in Grayling in the fast water then fished on down to Rabbit hole run where I had a small pull which turned out to be a
10lb Hen Salmon! Many thanks to Joe for assisting. I love my trips to Wyesham and do so enjoy the craic at lunchtime. I should like to thank my fellow rods and Joe for showing me such kind consideration now I am 85.
