Feedback & Reports

I went up in afternoon until evening fished the rock pool with not a touch went to Mill pool fished all the way down to near the end and wallop into a fish about 10lb bar of silver , unfortunately after some acrobatics it slipped the hook. So they are there

Nothing for me today

Only one take, on dry fly, later in the evening. Even though no sign of a hatch. No luck with a variety of small nymphs. Pleasant evening though and not a soul in site for most of the evening.

Pellet and grondbait feeder. River level dropping to normal summer level

Evening ticket.
Tried the float for a couple of hours. A bit too much water.
Resorted to the lead for the last couple of hours. Managed two nice barbel to about 5lb.
River fining down and a good colour.

Back for a second day and similar to Monday but took a siesta when the fishing went quiet in the afternoon. Similar mix of chub to yesterday and a better barbel at 6-6. Chub not in great condition yet but barbel looked good.
Love this place.
No swim cutting done, a machete would have been handy! Lock on gate was broken when I arrived.
