Feedback & Reports

Cooler today with a 19.7 degree water temperature. Three fished on the island and all started on the float, fishing meat over hemp. Loads of chub were cruising and it was a bit of a frustrating morning as the chub were cruising and it took a while to get them feeding properly. Swapping between deep full depth and shallow worked best. I 24, G 17 (with a good late run on the feeder), P 5. All fish over 3lb with a good number at 4 plus. Due to only 3 tickets on here I fished Fownhope.

Low and clear river. Chub to be seen everywhere in the surface but were difficult to tempt in the conditions.

Another great day on this lovely beat. The barbel are much harder to catch since the chub apocalypse but we worked hard and had a few fish for our efforts. The path to the bottom swims is worse than ever, so bring good boots and be prepared to wade.

Thanks to Colin as always for his hard work in keeping the beat in such great condition. Absolutely no thanks at all to the angler who defecated in plain view in the end island swim, leaving us a delightful early morning find. I really hope you blanked.
