Feedback & Reports

After what feels like an endless dry summer, it was good to finally spend a few hours back on a River, thank you Edw. The river remains very low, although the water temperature was an encouraging 14°C, cool enough to fish with confidence.

Conditions demanded a tres cautious approach. The low, clear water meant every movement mattered, and I spent far more time creeping into position than actually casting.

A small but beautifully marked wild brown trout fell to a Hare’s Ear nymph, presented with a bow-and-arrow cast tight into the overhanging margins, and persistence finally paid off.

I started Fishing with a feeder and spam at the top end of the beat, casting a few feet past the middle. In two hours i caught 3 chub, and 6 perch with a shadteez from the middle. Later on at 08.40pm I moved to the second swim and caught another 3 chub with spam and finally a barbel at 09.15 on spam. Water levels are very low and temperature was 23 degrees. Enjoyed feeding some ducks during the wait.

Great day with some nice fish. Scenery amazing and the Kites and Buzzards wheeling above provide the soundtrack.
