Feedback & Reports

A very disappointing day only one chub caught between the two of us!!

Fished different swims and moved up and down, but only one barbel and 4 chub between us, the fish do not seem to be feeding, but still a good and enjoyable day.

8 chub and 4 barbel between the 2 rods.

Very nice stretch of river with good access and lots of nice swims. Very quiet day managed two barbel and four chub on pellets near the hut at the beginning of the beat. Many thanks

Weather changeable with periods of sunshine followed by increasing rain later in the day. Spoke with Colin the day before fishing, who kindly put us on the fish. My friend Paul and I had a memorable day's fishing, landing 17 barbel to 8lb (Paul had 12) and 30+ chub to around 4lb. The fish came to pellet and luncheon meat. We will certainly be back.

Another great day at Holme Lacy, the river was a bit lower than the previous week, but that didn't stop the fish feeding. Due to the lower flow we were able to fish along the island bank this time without using 4oz feeders.
We finished the day with 20 Barbel up to 8lb, plus numerous Chub to 3.5lb. Bait was again Halibut Pellet fished below a feeder.

15 barbel (to 8lb) and 7 chub between the two of us, all caught on various pellets.

A fantastic days fishing was had by both of us, Thanks to the earlier input from Colin the Ghillie we homed in on 2 key locations that kept producing Barbel throughout the day.
The river was about 2 and a half feet over summer level.
We finished the day with 25 Barbel to 2 rods and a few Chub.
The bait was halibut pellet fished with feeders.

A pleasant opening to the season. Great scenic venue. 3 Rods caught an equal mixture of Barbel and Chub throughout the stretch. Thanks to Colin for his feedback.

Cloudless blue sky but a cool wind and river in good trim.
First time on this beat for us and again a lovely setting although in our opinion there isn't the variety of water / swims that exist on some of the other beats. That said it does have significantly better access to the actual water than some of the other beats and we also thought it wasn't a particularly long or arduous walk to the bottom of the beat despite the comments on the beat description. I know from previous feedback there are plenty of fish around though we didn't manage to find them and had only 1 barbel between us. Never mind, still a great day out!
