Feedback & Reports

We were staying five minutes from this beat, so I managed to get out for a few hours. Fished a GRHE and caught 4 brownies, largest around 10 inches.

4 Trout

Tried everything until 2pm when it started to pour.

We have visited the Creel over the past 12 years and have seen a steady decline in the number of swims on this beat. In the past we could fish upstream of the gate, now it is so overgrown that access to the river is not possible. Downstream, you take your life in your hands when you venture down the bank, especially if it has rained. We will not be revisiting this beat again, mainly due to the access issues and the lack of fish.

2 Barbel

I fished only the upper section of this heat. Fish caught were between 30cm and 14cm (12- 5 in).
Mostly a green Klinkhamer and para Adams did the trick but also nymphed with GRHE and Copper John.
Weather was low overcast with very light drizzle at times. Air temp 12C.

Two Anglers. Lovely stretch. Overcast with a brief shower of rain. Early Barbel at 10lbs on feeder pellet then nothing. Moved to swim lower down. One Chub on pellet around 3lbs. Another Chub around 2lbs on maggots later. Not easy but we were pleased to get some hard fighting fish.
