Feedback & Reports

Warm and overcast day, river was at 1ft level (indicated opposite the hut where you can park). Myself and my Uncle (he caught the majority to be fair!) fished at two spots (Upper and Lower Sally's) adjacent to each other. We managed 12 Barbel ranging 2.5lb upto 7lb 2oz, along with 2 Chub around the 4lb mark. All but one caught on 8 or 10mm Halibut pellet with a feeder full of damped 3mm pellet, one Chub came to luncheon meat sent bouncing down the faster water just before the river Lugg (Pylon run).

12 Barbel, 2 Chub

Fly and worm.

4 Trout

First time on river. Fished large feeder with crumbed boilie with large boilie on hair. Fished a dozen or more swims, some of them twice as I worked my way down and back up the river.

First fish by the hut within an hour then 2 more chub mid- afternoon near to other end of beat. Perfect weather. Dull and warm. Booking office very helpful and thank you.

3 Chub

3 taken on spinner very early on.

3 Trout

6lbs. From Redbrook beat.

1 Salmon

Arrived to find the river to be quite low and clear. Also a number of anglers on the far bank making swim selection a bit awkward. We did manage a barbel before retiring to the Greenman.

1 Barbel

Fly fishing with nymph, both fish released. Loved it.

2 Trout

1 eel. Despite river being quite low we managed a few nice barbel up to 8.5 lbs.
Found the cows were a bit of a problem when parking in the field as alternative car park not marked very well on map and we could not find it - hence one very dirty white van needing a wash the next day.

10 Barbel, 1 Chub, 1 Other

Missed several takes off the surface on daddy longlegs and para adams.

Only managed a couple of hours at this beat on my way home. Saw one or two fish move, but the river was very low and very quiet. No interest in anything I put their way, so this short visit ended blank.
