Did not fish. No access to the stretch.

Fished home farm day before fish everywhere,Thomas wood was completely different 2 of us tried everything could not get a bite,soon as a ground bait feeder hit the water pike we’re smashing any fish around, tried float fishing and rolling single baits into shadows nothing, but we left early afternoon but I would of imagine it would of got better when the sun dropped definitely go back. I put it down to it being the hottest day of the year.

Caught and returned 1 Shad and 12 eels. The river was quite low.
Fished using ledgered and float fished luncheon meat.

The recent cold spell probably didn't help. Managed some nice chub between us up to 4 and half pounds. Just the one barbel but a really lovely fish at 10lb 12oz. Good signs for the health of the river when a quick scoop in the margins with my landing net resulted in a handful of tiny barbel! Some small stuff came to feeder fished maggot, small chub, dace and a solitary gudgeon!

Very few swims, very hard going

3 Chub

It was a rainy day so many of the swims were difficult to access due to the steep mud banks getting slippy. We couldn't fish the wooded swims due to other anglers fishing them despite us booking all 4 tickets for this stretch (it seems the stretch was double booked?). Anyway, all the barbel caught were small - between 0.5-1.5lbs. Caught two decent chub - one over 4lb and the other over 3lb. The other two chub were on the smaller side (around 1lb).

Fishing Passport Note : If you encounter other anglers fishing when you suspect they should not be present, please call the Booking Office immediately. The beat was not double booked.

Beautiful Location! Fishing was a little slow although we didn’t arrive until late morning. River could maybe do with a little more water but caught a stunning 8lb barbel about 3pm which really made the day! Will definitely be back soon!
