Feedback & Reports

Obviously tough fishing in current conditions, on a generally shallow beat. A few fish caught by looking for slightly deeper runs and depressions in river bed. Heavy downpour late afternoon just what the river needed, hoping for a few more...

River level low. Lots of weed. Unable to find clear spots to fish and could not present a bait with any satisfaction. Not surprised at the reports of dead barbel being found, water temperature very warm. No fish of any species seen all day.

Had been looking forward to a day at this lovely venue, but was expecting a difficult day, due to low clear river and likely bright sunshine.
Started on R/H Bank above the ford, caught early on float fished meat 10 chub between 1lb and 2 lb about 9 am river switched off. Moved down below the ford had two Chub about 4lb then lost one and never saw another fish.
Packed in at 11.30 as it was clear nothing was going to feed until sun had gone down and temperature had dropped.
Was very suprised to not see any Barbel even with the elements very much against you, as this stretch was full of them last year.
