Feedback & Reports

Arrived to find the river running low and clear. Not what I was hoping for but the fishing was ok! It took a while to find the fish but ended the day with 5 chub between 2lb & 5lb on pellet and luncheon meat. No Barbel.

One small barbel before I fell in. Banks steep in parts, did well to get out! Full kit on plus big coat. Thanks to K from Cornwall for helping me dry out!

5 small brown trout, all caught by my brother, biggest 0.5lb.

A tough day, a small chub 2 - 2.5lb on the 2nd or 3rd cast then nothing. Not too many safely accessible swims on this stretch but tried most of those available. The other angler on the stretch for the day went in and was lucky to get out from where he was fishing. We managed to recover most of his kit with the help of a canoeist but his iphone was the worst for the experience and will probably not recover.

Fished Wyebank for 2 days. River level was fairly low, started fishing around 6.30am. No fish until boats came through around 10am, then a steady flow of fish with a few quiet times. Method of fishing was a large open feeder and bait consisting of ground bait with spicy hemp casters and crushed up 16mm boilies with a small boilie on the hair. Over the two sessions I had 17 barbel to 61b and 3 large chub to 41b. Many thanks to WUF for this great fishery.

17 Barbel, 3 Chub

Weather was good, water was low but a lot of fish rising. I caught 3 rainbow trout and a lot of others were catching fish. A good day all round.

Fished from 10am to 12.30pm.
Having fished this beat 5 days ago in high water I was looking forward to giving it a go today. On arrival water conditions looked perfect. I only had a couple of hours so fished the lower end of the beat quickly only fishing the most productive looking areas.
The trout were in the mood and after 2.5 hours 15 had fallen to a PTN barbless fly. The largest a cracking 14inch fish! I rarely photograph any catches but I had to take a quick pic of this one.
8 salmon par also came to hand.
All fished returned. Small stream fishing at it's best in my book.

6 rainbow trout, all caught on worm and bubble. Most action started when weather changed to overcast and showers in afternoon.

Lovely day clambering over rocks and you need a stick. Hardly any fish about or rising, but a lovely river.

Two perfect 9" WBTs - one on a Parachute Adams, the other on a GRHE. Lovely to see so many kingfishers.
