Feedback & Reports

The river levels shot from 1.2 to 3.61 over night. The water was out the banks near the car park area, just in on the rest of the stretch. We found 1 fishable peg. We managed 3 barbel on the bank, biggest being 8.15lb. We lost more tackle than caught fish, due to snags moving in the swim during the day.

River at 3.6 m on the Ross gauge - did not fish

River was over the bank down the bottom of the beat so was very difficult to find any slack water, needless to say we struggled and lost loads of tackle, others were eels...

Abandoned the day. Very high. Very fast. Floating vegetation/trees debris

We arrived at a rapidly rising river where the Mordiford guage was over 4metres when we left. 5 barbel and a chub caught from the first and second field. Whole trees were coming down the flood water made it an interesting day and topped off by a couple of typhoon flying overhead.

Arrived to a raging river almost in flood, the Island towards the lower end of the beat was completely under water. We couldn't find a swim with enough slack to make fishing a possibility. We tried for two hours but conditions were only getting worse so we called it a day. This is the first time in 12 years we have been beaten by the conditions, so not a regular occurrence, three blanks for us, which again is a first in 12 years.

Rising coloured river but fishing well on feeder and meat.

Very fast flowing flood water including many branches etc etc
Tough day to the point that we booked another venue tomorrow and abandoned this beat

2 Chub

River coloured and rising fast, good conditions. Should have caught more if I stayed in same location but wanted to explore beat …. Really liked this stretch plenty of swims, good access, plenty of slacks from the fast water when it’s up
