Feedback & Reports

Fished towards the top end of the beat,had 3 Barbel each in the morning before a lull until mid afternoon when Barbel started to feed again.Barbel were mostly from 5-8 lbs with the best one 8 lbs 8 oz,feeder and pellet.Also some nice Chub on meat baits. River was up slightly with some much needed colour which made a big difference. All in all a very nice place with easy access ,will definitely return next year.

Bad weather didn't fish for long

Bad weather lost one good fish

6 Barbel, 1 Chub

Six barbel and one chub river low and clear all fish caught to pellet and feeder

6 Barbel, 1 Chub

Rather more inclement weather meant only one of the group fished for a couple of hours in the morning. The result was one Barbel.
In less than favourable conditions the four of us had 36 Barbel and 22 Chub in essentially three days of fishing. The average stamp of Barbel was around 7 - 8lb with a couple of scraper doubles, and the biggest Chub was approaching 5lb.
All in all an excellent trip to a stunning beat. Roll on next September!

1 Barbel

Weather better suited to sunbathing rather than catching Barbel but still another excellent day. All fish falling during the evening this time but understandable considering the kayak activity that was relentless at points. Pellet feeder doing the business again.

15 Barbel, 9 Chub

Despite conditions being similar to the previous day the fish seemed to switch on, with Barbel coming to all rods throughout the day at both the top and bottom ends of the beat.
A superb day was had by all.

The combination of bright sunshine with a low clear river made fishing very tough today. Just the two Barbel falling to pellet feeder for one of the group at last knockings. A handful of Chub throughout the day kept the interest going however.
A lovely beat which could benefit from the addition of a few more swims.
