Feedback & Reports

Fished by one of the croys, river was up and rose 9" during afternoon session. Caught 5 chub 3.5 lbs, 4.4, 2x 5lbs & 5.5 lbs. 4 caught on corn and one on meat. My personnal best chub before today was 3.5 lbs so this was a supurb afternoons fishing. Thanks Simon for putting me onto this beat.

Caught a total of 3 chub and 2 barbel between 3 rods, one of which blanked. River looked to be in perfect condition despite carrying a few inches of extra water. Enjoyable day but very tiring exploring the full length available. Number of swims very limited, probably due to the extra water.
Directions and instruction excellant as always.

15 x trout 6-9 inches.

Stuart and I fished hard in the rain, but without success.
Surprised not to see any sign of salmon either.

Torrential rain till late evening, a force 6 to 7 wind and the river going through like a train had all the ingredients of a blank. Fishing the deep water upstream of the hut; finding small areas of slack water and using swimfeeders (3 and 4 ounce weight required); laying close in to the bank (couldn't do anything else really); saw us catch eleven barbel to nearly nine pounds and four chub all about four. Hallibut pellets accounted for most but sweetcorn and stiff groundbait paste caught several too.

Bearing in mind the conditions we felt we had not done too badly.

A tough day [due to weather] on the 21st, water about 8/10 inches up but only slightly coloured, 3 Browns to 12", which rose to klinkhammers in the fast water, and four graylings to 14" on sawyers grub under a klinkhammer or czech nymphing.

3 brown trout on viva. River high & coloured.

17 x trout 5-11 inches.

Blank day - Water level very high from all the rain.
Still an enjoyable beat to fish and will be back later in the season.

Excellent on-line booking system, very convenient.

1 Brown trout of 9-10 inch to dry fly.
