Feedback & Reports

A lovely afternoon shining on a great place to be in early autumn. River 0.96m and dropping slowly. As usual looked very fishy. New bank side steps down to Upper Rock made access easy and was able to wade right down to Rock / Chine with fly working beautifully. Had a take at the start of Rock and a mid teen fish showed immediately. It then dropped below me for a minute of head shaking before we parted company. Frustrating but a great afternoon.

An excellent stretch with reasonable vehicle access and pegs accessible with care (crampons were useful following a night of rain)
The river was carrying about 4ft of extra water and proved difficult to figure out for three experienced anglers, although we all caught in the end. We plan to return, hopefully when the river is at more normal levels.

Hard day today, river looked perfect. Just one bite between us, a barbel of 9lb 1oz. I’m sure the long walks must have been beneficial!!

River at 1.2 on the Ross gauge and dropped 0.2 during the day. The 3 anglers fished top, middle and bottom of the beat and all had barbel, 4, 1 and 3 using either GB or hemp feeders and pellet hookbaits. The barbel were between 4 and 6.04 and Barbel for all meant a successful if not a hectic day.
