Feedback & Reports

River came up 4ft during our session, difficult conditions but we managed 9 barbel to 8lb 10oz, various tactics and bait, all good size fish and in great nick!

Great afternoon on Middle Hill as normal. Fishing very slow
Only 2 Barbel in region of 5 to 6 pounds. River was on the rise. Great stretch will be back soon.

Spent the day fishing the Rope Pool. Had a good day with 4 hard fighting barbel upto the 8lb mark, taken on elips pellet and feeder. All fish immaculate.

Fished 3 swims between Vanstone Pool and the Rope Pool. Conditions were good with just a tinge of colour but was only saved from a blank by 2 barbel in last half hour. Swims were pretty good for access on left bank but although this fishery is said to be double bank there were no access details provided for the right bank and from what I could see only 2 fishable swims. There were quite a few salmon jumping in the Rope Pool area.

This is the 3rd time we have fished this lovely beat and we caught very well taking 26 barbel all bewteen 5lb and 9lb 6oz, taken on 8mm halibut pellet. We fished from 11am until 6.30pm and caught quite well through the day but better in the last hour.

12 barbel caught, 10 from one swim near top of length, caught on a mixture of halibut, elips and crab pellets. If fishing this length, don't bother with the bottom access as there are very few spots you can get to the river. The section marked as a wood has now been cut down and consists mainly of impenetrable scrub. We half expected to meet Dr Livingston and a team of native porters. Forunately access at the top of the length is good.

Arrived in very heavy rain and opted for the lower end of the fishery. Banks very muddy and slippery, but once the rain relented I managed 5 decent barbel to around 9 1/2lb. All fish taken on pellet. Thanks again WUF and Adam for the upkeep of this excellent beat.

One barbel 10.5lbs. Halibut pellet used with PVA bag and mixed small pellets.

Started about 7.00am in Top Pool, 1 decent barbel lost as this is a real tackle graveyard. Dropped down a peg or two and had a few small chub and dace on the stickfloat and one chub of 5lb before the shear number of inconsiderate canoeists made fishing impossible at about 10.30. Started again about 4.00pm had 5 good barbel between 6 and 8lb and two chub of 4.5 and 5.5lb. Great beat in lovely surroundings with good access to the river. I will return.

This is a beautiful place to fish. Got there early in the morning, weather was hot. Scouted out a nice swim. Easy access to all the swims, well kept place, river was clean and good to fish. After about an hour my mate had the first barbel on the bank, a very nice 9lbs in mint condition taken on pellet. Soon after I was into a 6lber and the day just got better. In total we had 15 fish, great fights from them. Could not ask for more. The directions on the map were spot on. Will be back for more, great place and a big thanks to the WUF for this fabulous beat, one of my best days on the bank and my friends too. Highly Recommended !!! See you soon.
