Feedback & Reports

I thoroughly enjoyed my day on this beautiful stretch of river. I fished from 9.15am to 5pm and I caught eight Barbel and lost one due to a hookpull. They ranged in size from 4lb to 7lb 12oz and caught them throughout the day. The first one fell to Bacon Grill, and the rest all came on Halibut Pellets. I only caught my first ever Barbel 2 days ago (Essex boy who only fishes lakes), so for me this was a red letter day. As this was also the 4th and final day of my fishing holiday and I had struggled for bites in the fast water the previous 3 days, I'm going home on a high. I'm already planning to return asap, so thanks a lot WUF, and thanks to IYCF magazine where I first read about you.

3 barbel 18 chub all caught on pellet. River was high and very coloured but we still had two great days fishing. Accommodation at the Pound B and B next to the Boat pub was out of this world. Thanks.

8 barbel caught between two of us, biggest 8Ibs 5oz. A beautiful stretch of river with plenty of great looking areas to fish. All fish caught on pellets.

3 X Rainbow (1 - 1.5lb) all on olive fly.

Fished 4.30pm -8.30pm. First time on this beat and the river was high and coloured so had to apply educated guesswork regarding good swims. Must have guessed OK as I caught 5 Barbel from 6lbs to 8lbs 2oz and a massive Eel which thankfully unhooked itself and slithered back into the river.

1 Brown Trout on dry fly - returned. Excellent fishing beat. Great day with instructor Chris Price, invaluable teaching and guidance.
Your website and booking system are excellent and very easy to use.
Accommdation recommendation was also excellent.

Three fish caught on spinner. The water is well stocked and the fish are of good quality. Clearly however poachers had been there at night. They were leaving as I arrived. A shame.

4 WBT to 30cm caught on PTN, para adams and GRHE. Camped by the bridge on the previous night and caught the first fish there shortly after stepping into my waders.

6 Barbel and 1 Chub. River rising steadily throughout the morning.

Third time here this season and the third time its had 5 ft plus on! Lovely sunny day though, started at 2pm just as it began to fall and was immediately amongst the fish Barbel and nuisance chublets. Quiet period between 4pm and 6pm as it got very hot then they switched on again. Large chunks of meat pulled in 3 barbelat 9lbs+ and an 8lbs+ in the next 40 mins before my landing net handle broke under the hammering its taken these last 5 weeks. Tried to fix it but it wasn't up to it. No way of landing fish so went home happy and sunburned.
