Feedback & Reports

Fishing was slow. One barbel early morning, the rest were caught as the light faded. Feeder fished pellet caught the barbel and chub. Sea trout caught on feeder fished maggots.

Arrived at the river 8:00am. It was running about 3 to 4 foot over with a bit of colour but it looked good and we anticipated a productive day. We never even had a single bite all day. We tried various swims along the stretch but to no avail.....so at 4:00pm we decided to call it quits. It looks an interesting piece of river and I would like to try it again in the summer but today we were badly beaten.......nothing to report!!!

The river had dropped further overnight and looked really inviting, had a chub first cast and a grayling a bit later and that was it. The weather was so nice and the beat so peaceful we got a bit lazy and didn't move around, enjoyed the day though.

1 Grayling, 1 Chub

Nice height and a very warm day for mid March. Sunny all day so probably not the best conditions. Fished the fly through the upper pools but nothing doing. Moved down to bottom end and fished through with flying c but still nothing doing.

My first time on the beat no takes only used the fly rod only fished the middle of the beat

Lovely to be out but a really tough day. Many pools seemed devoid of fish!

Lovely sunny day, I decided to walk in the hills rather than fish.

River had just fined down after Wed/Thurs flooding. River still really pushing through. I blanked, my Dad had two Barbel early on. Fishing feeder very hard holding bottom. Banks had took a hammering, some big cracks in part of the swims we fished. Looked like they would fall in the water at any moment.

2 Barbel

Caught 6 rainbows and had at least 4 get off. Also had lots of plucks and pulls. Fish in good condition and fought well. Used an intermediate with black snake. Fish were shoaled and moving up and down the bank about 20metres out. Just a case of watching for a fishing surfacing and moving to that area and that's where the shoal had moved to.
