Feedback & Reports

Perfect looking swim but very low water and hot , full on sunshine which made fishing unbearable as difficult to find shade after 1.00pm. Only one angler fished and only 2 small chub from an ideal swim which shouted Barbel!
I will return - when weather cools down.

Great beat but could be difficult to access in wet weather conditions. River very low and weather too hot and sunny for fishing but 4 anglers managed a few barbel and lots of chub. Pellet/feeder and cheese on the float caught fish today. Access to the barbel pegs was ok in the dry and some have rope and stake to assist but could be difficult in wet conditions. Overall a great day in difficult conditions but we will be back when there is a bit more water on.

Normal feeder tactics. Would of been better if I’d stayed later, also if there wasn’t 2 family’s swimming where I was fishing.

Very tough conditions with bright sunshine on a very low, clear river. Managed to find some barbel in the afternoon and landed 4 of the bites we had. All fell to flavoured 14mm pellet.

Hardest day we’ve had on this beat, river low, bright sunshine and searing heat.

One of them days today I am afraid, having only fished it once before and having Barbel on within 10 seconds of first cast, today could not be further from that cracking start!

River over 1 metre lower than when I fished it before and much clearer. Fished pellet and meat in 2 of the deeper swims and just had small chub pecking away all day , not one sniff from Barbel and all Chub caught were around 1lb Mark. Cracking beat just Barbel were not ‘on it’ today for whatever reason ........that’s fishing !!!

Fished dawn til dusk.
