nothing much to report

nice to see a few fish in pools fresh and old nothing caught

River fairly up for the time of year with a rusty colour but swim access because of above and showers quite slippery awkward. When the river is up locals recommend the use of a spike and rope. Fish caught on the bottom feeder various baits boilies, meat, pellets. All enjoyable but be careful on exit from the parking area to the main road. This is totally blind and I wondered if a concealed exit slow down sign plus a mirror set to see oncoming traffic would improve this for safety.

The forest on the hillside behind the fishery sets a wonderful backdrop and another beautiful part of Herefordshire. Fished from 1-8 and would recommend The Carrots pub to discuss the day over a Guinness which is excellent.

2 Barbel, 28 Chub

Hen fish around 8/9lb from the tail of the Rock Pool on the Rectory on a black and copper flying C. Single hook fell out in the net. Fish went back strongly. River quite coloured, but not dirty and too high to fly fish.

We were a bit concerned about the weather before we started but apart from 2 brief showers the brolley was packed dry at the end of the day. The fishery was alive with Chub in the 1-2lb bracket that we caught mostly on float to make an entertaining day. One Barbel of 6.14 . Lost a bit of tackle in the underwater snags. Beautiful setting and parking behind your swim but I wouldn’t attempt the driving track unless you have a 4 x4 otherwise you might get stuck

1 Barbel, 40 Chub
