Feedback & Reports

Great weather and a nice beat the only thing missing was catching a few fish!

Cracking days fishing on a stunning stretch of the river. A number of Barbel to 9.14lb as well as 4 chub to 4lb. River running low and fairly snaggy, picked up all the fish in the bottom pool - Old Wharf. Will definitely return in the new season.

The 2nd time on this beat (Legg Meadow) still no fish to-day after 11hrs of trying .

3 x Chub caught on maggots. Two at 2lb and one at 4lb.

Didn't make it, cow calving! Will try to rebook later this spring.

5 Barbel, 2 Chub on Bread and Pellet.

No fish caught. Fished from 12 - 3pm and saw no activity at all. Very little fly life visible and no fish moving. Nice bit of river though - will probably visit again later on in the year. Water was visibly a foot or so low already by the look of things.

Weather bright, light wind, water low and clear, temp 12 deg. Approx 30 chub caught between 1.5lb and 4lb, some on the float some on the lead. Maggot was top bait.

Probably a little early this far up the river! Did have a nice grayling. Great to be back on this part of the river anyway.

Great day fishing the top (Duke's) beat of Wyesham on a day ticket. Full sunny day, water at 49 degrees, and about 2ft on gauge. The top half of this beat from the island down to the railway viaduct is superb fly water and an easy wade on gravel.
Caught one large (36") very well mended hen kelt in the 'Pipes' and lost one head banging fresh salmon of around 12lbs just below the island - it just 'fell off' the hook after a few minutes of playing...Both on floating line with slow sink tip and a 1" aluminium silver bodied dark Willie Gunn.
I look forward to a return trip later this year.
