Feedback & Reports

Biggest barbel 7.6, biggest chub 4.9. River was up a little but most swims were fishable. A word for Stefan the bailiff, who was most welcoming, offered advice if asked and has done an excellent job making swims accessible.

Had 2 chub both which were over 6lb. Both were caught on ground bait feeder with meat on the hook.

2 Chub

One lovely large barbel that came in more chub-like than a fighting barbel and eight chub to 4lb 11oz.
Caught on feeder and GB with luncheon meat or boilie.

Weather was atrocious by sat it out in relative comfort. Health and safety was a priority as with few stakes and no ropes with a slippery bank it was risky in all but a few swims.

This is a lovely beat and will be returning for sure next year.

JD found the grayling. For myself, I had a long distance release and a couple of expressions of interest. Had a nice wood-fired pizza at the Griffin then 3 hours on the river.

Water had dropped about 1ft over night but was still difficult especially digging out a peg, the banks were very slippy!!!!
On a good note we had two clonking chub one small barbel and a brown trout, the trout was a shock because it took the meat...(unbelievable) All the fish were pristine....
Ledgered meat did it again over the long link swimfeeder pellet....
In all our 3 days were very enjoyable....

Very wet day but river looked good for a few bites with mild air and a tinge of colour in the water.

Two anglers in the woods, one in the cattle drink and one downstream. Rewarded with 7 Barbel, 35 Chub and one bonus Grayling between us.

Always nice fishing this beat and despite the heavy rain we had a good day.
