Feedback & Reports

Three fabulous days fishing on beats 2,3 and 5. Lots of chub, and some really nice fish up to 4lb. Float fished corn, feeding hemp - almost a fish a cast. Triple hair rigged spicy pellets accounted for the bigger fish. Worked hard to find the Barbel which were very elusive. Opportunities did occur, but sadly not landed. Early mornings and dusk are still the time to catch, but to be fair Mark’s hospitality at the Rhydspence inn was too tempting to stay on the bank that late!

second day on the stretch, fished beats 5 and 2, managed a couple of barbel, looked very healthy but absolutely smothered in lice (another angler reported the same). Still loads of small chub around

Tough. Conditions seemed pretty good, fished hard into dusk, plenty of small chub (>1lb) around but no barbel bites.

Found a lovely looking swim below the island downstream of the Toll Bridge. Lots of bites from small fish on meat, removing the bait, but no success.

Caught on near bank from building, 1st swim beat 4

Fished the same swims I fished 2 years ago where I previouslycaught barbel,this time I didn't have a bite all day! I tried boilies and luncheon meat, nothing doing at all. Whitney Court stretch very low.

Tried ledgered meat. Couldn't get a bite.

1 small Chub on ledgered meat.
