Feedback & Reports

Looked perfect, day gradually turning colder with wind from the north, resulted in 1 x barbel, 8lb+, & 1 chub on meat. Otter in adjacent swim didn't seem to do any better but provided entertainment.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Overcast and increasingly windy day. Three good sized out of season trout, three minnows and 6 grayling all on trotted maggots. 5 of the grayling were minnow sized and the other was a very large fish that looked over 2lb. Lots of fry in the margins and 4 fish seen rising.

River was brownish colour, possible sediment. Acces to the first field was poor, gate post was broken. A style is needed here for better access. Nice stretch of river though.

Very interesting place to fish with some fine fly water. Sadly no luck fished hard, water may have been a little dirty in the morning but seemed OK in the afternoon.

First time fishing here and had Difficulty locating the beat. Conditions blustery (fished on the lower stretch near the cottage) and had a very disappointing day with no fish, not even a single bite. Fished ledger with all kinds of pellets and boilies. Advice appreciated for future excursions to this stretch of water.

Good barbel of 10lbs 12ozs landed towards the end of the day. Best chub was 4lbs 13ozs. Fish caught on pellet.

5 Barbel, 4 Chub

River in good order and floating weed less of a problem today. 5 barbel to 9-06 on feeder and pellet. Pleasant stretch of river.

First three Barbel caught personally - chuffed to bits (especially with the 2nd one!).

Also to note, 4 or 5 salmon surfacing during the day.

A great day.
