Feedback & Reports

The low clear river conditions along with a couple of otters for company at various parts of the day did little to help the chances of catching a few fish. Despite trying various baits, hook sizes and hook lengths all looked to be heading for a blank (except for a few minnows for a bit of sport) until a 4lb barbel took a liking to the garlic meat put on offer by my companion John towards the end of the day. Its a steep, tricky climb back up through the woods and thats in dry conditions, we have tried it before in wet conditions and with kit is quite dangerous and slippy. A few more rails to hold on to would not go a miss. A lovely beat though as far as getting away from it all goes, hardly a sound to be heard at times and surrounded by lovely countryside and woods.

Was to have been my last day for 'trelough' this season - could not get there as ill health once again flared up and required a doctors visit that day.
Can only look forward to 2016 when I hope to be able to put in some time at this lovely water.
Many thanks to wuf staff for their continued assistance.

River very low and very clear - two anglers tried several baits, fishing techniques and different swims - alas no fish and we never even registered a bite - nice spot though as they say!

Great day and a stunning 12lb 1oz barbel plus some others. You need to move around to find the fish at the mo. These were caught in 10-12ft of water. Happy days.

Really difficult day on this beat, one beat to avoid when no water in the river but fishes well when river up.
I fished in Boys rock all day and didn't have a touch, my mate fished 3 swims and eventually had a 7lb barbel.
As said in previous posts would benefit from some work being carried out to open up a few swims as it has become more overgrown each year.

First time on this beat and found the fishing difficult. Not helped by overnight campers on the church pool island complete with dingy and fishing rods!!!
Fished three or four swims for just a Perch and a few Chublets on maggot. Not a knock on pellet feeder.

Fished a morning session before driving home but no fish this time. River was very low and clear.
