Feedback & Reports

A beautiful spot but fly life was poor, certainly I expected it to be better. Predominant hatch was midge and they were not being taken until later on about 6ish when I took the two grayling on an emerger midge both around 8 inch.

River low, weedy with very little flow. 2 x 3lb chub and a 2lb Brown Trout on floatfished sweetcorn. And a 5lb Barbel on feeder.

River low and very clear. Overcast but bright all day. Ledgered pellet, boilie, luncheon meat and sweetcorn. Only one missed bite late in the day.

Only very few seen rising, total of 3 fish seen moving along bottom, no rises to dry fly, water conditions were low bright sun and clear. Switched to wet fly and caught one trout which was of good size at 2 & 1/2 pounds.

River was low and quite clear. Caught on groundbait feeder and various pellets and meat. Canoes/kayaks were a real problem, lost count how many times they caught my line.

Casting practice really as only 6" on the gauge. Neck of Rectory looked like the only chance.

Found the fish in the pacier water off the island but only once the canoes had dissapeared. Bit slow on pellets but went mad for luncheon meat after the sun went down.

I fished with cage feeder and hiar-rig from 5.30am to 9.30pm no barbel caught until 12.30 using flavoured meat as bait. Two more caught in the following hour. Two more caught at 6.00pm - 7.00pm.

First time on this very pleasant stretch. Conditions were warm, the river low and very clear. The chub fishing is clearly very good, but only one barbel caught. I am not sure how prolific they are in this particular stretch.
I would certainly fish here again.

Cracking morning. 9 fish in great condition.
