Feedback & Reports

A small administrative error - angler in Rugby, wallet in Norwich - meant I was late on the water and any hatch there might have been was over. It was cold and blustery, the river high-ish but clear and pushing through. I managed one small fish on a nymph.

Only one angler fished. After a big rise in water level (and three barbel) the day before I settled in the same swim as I had. The water fell about 4 feet during the day but the few barbel about yesterday appeared to have moved elsewhere. Considered moving but most of the other swims looked very difficult to fish or unsafe. I worked the swim and although no barbel were caught I managed three chub between 3-15 and 4-10. The weather was pleasant so a nice end to the season.

A very difficult day after more heavy rain . The river was swollen, dark and angry. We usually head to the woods, but on inspection from the first field, this was a definate no go. We fished the top field and had one bite each , resulting in a Barbel each.
A typical early spring day with sleet, rain, cold winds and really warm sunshine.
See you next season. Cheers

2 Barbel

Arrived really early #first light with worm and spinner. Had a lovely pb trout around an hour after dawn. Almost 2.6lb.
On a lobworm. Float fished had another 2 but very small later in the day. Kept the bigger one. Beautiful day in a stunning venue

Not a great end to the season and despite the river dropping slowly we could not find any fish. A £2.00 donation to the church may have provided some divine pity and assistance to our cause with a splendid Gudgeon banked for our efforts.
Hopefully we will do a bit better next season…
