Feedback & Reports

Started the season off with high water at Whitney Court, the beat and the river looked in fine fettle. Fished hard for a small Parr and 2x healthy Trout on the fly. Will be back very soon.

2 Trout

Very difficult day in testing conditions. A strong, gusty wind and a rising river proved challenging but a long search for fishable water we found enough to keep us occupied. The end result was three barbel with a best of just over seven, two decent chub around three pounds and one feisty eel. All fish came to multiple lobworm on straight leger rigs.

3 Barbel, 2 Chub, 1 Other

Did not fish due to extremely high levels. Hopefully it will drop enough over night for a go tomorrow.

Very high river. Nothing doing.

My angling partner and I dead bait fished around 8 swims each on beats 1, 2 and 5 and only managed one run between us for the day, the river was running off and slightly coloured perfect conditions for a days pike fishing that said there was very little fish movement throughout the day we only noticed 6 fish break surface two of which being salmon/sea trout. The pike we caught was very thin for this time of year but with the river being in flood so much this season it was expected.

Fished 11am - 4pm. Difficult going on a high river. Great access to water but really pushing through.

10lb Hen, surprisingly fresh, off Beat 3 around 3pm this afternoon - Cascade tube fly. Beautiful afternoon, nice way to sign-off for the season. Water high but clearing - should be perfect in a couple of days!

1 Salmon
