Feedback & Reports

No fish caught.
Ledgered for barbel during a six hour session. Weather extremely hot and river very slow, to the point of almost static.
Rain badly needed.
Accommodation at Montgomery House was excellent, as was the breakfasts supplied.

few small chub on a long trot....not a tap on the feeder. Plenty of big fish moving around in the shallows...nothing interested in feeding.

4 Chub

Beat 6

3 Chub

early start and all fish came between 5am and 8.30 - lost a couple of decent fish in the rocks and snags on beat 2
-should have packed up when it got hot and sunny - but sat it out and cooked without a bite for 6hrs - with about 200 swans and canada geese my swim looked more like Slimbridge at feeding time, made it really hard work at times - not sure id fish this beat again til the younger birds have moved on.

2 Barbel, 2 Chub

Lovely spot but no joy just a few missed bites. That’s fishing!.

Very changeable weather. Downstream wind very blustery. Decent amount of water. Missed takes to small klinkhamner above the bridge on beat 1. Beat 4, several pulls, one hooked and lost (barbless fly and very acrobat brownie), two to the next circa 3/4lb. All to small black gold head hares ear.

My friend had all the luck,
A 3lb+ chubb
And 3 small brownies.
Both of our first times fishing the river on the Flys, hopefully next time I will have more luck myself

We were hoping for more water in the river and a bit more cloud cover, but we were blessed with a very sunny day ... At least there wasn't much wind!
Fished beats one and two in the main. No sign of salmon but plenty of other fish seen. Two cheeky accidental trout caught.
Osprey, Hobby, Sandmartins seen. Woodpecker and cuckoo heard.
Good company, lovely day on the water.
