Feedback & Reports

The fish were queuing up in the fast water but we couldn't get there until late on when the other bank anglers left. When they finally did we caught a few but the barbel had had a pasting all day from 2 guys who were catching a fish a chuck on the float and all big ones too, 7 pounds plus some of them. Pellet and meat both caught. Canoes were a nightmare until the afternoon but I managed to only hook one that snapped me up after a decent run.

Beautiful stretch of water. Biggest chub just over 4lb. Most around the 1lb mark, as was the single barbel. All on legered meat.

Nothing, water clear and low

River was high, banks were dangerous too, due to the heavy rain recently, in fact I slipped in, it was a good job I had my waders on, and managed to grab the backside weeds. The track down to the car park was also extremely tricky…we had to push ourselves a couple of times to get up the hill to leave. The Chub were caught early afternoon, both on the feeder with a pellet…weights were around 1lb and 3lb, both in excellent condition.

Conditions much better today after yesterdays downpour. Unfortunately, not much happened but still a pleasant day.
