Feedback & Reports

The river was dropping after a 3.5m high making the fishing quite difficult. This was compounded by the lack of access to the waters edge with only a few spots being fishable. There were no swims cut out or any access to the waters edge on well over half of the fishery, despite there being a number of good looking spots that were simply inaccessible. We reserved the stretch exclusively between three anglers which was expensive for the limited fishing on offer. It may have been better in lower water conditions when a large beach section would seemingly be exposed.

River had come up and was in full spate. Had to sit at top of the bank watching huge amounts of trees and debris float past.

River very high but dropping, caught 5 Barbel & 3 Chub.

Torrential rain the previous day and overnight (coupled with the opening of a dam in Wales) presented a river with a height and flow of Biblical proportions which even Noah would have found challenging. It had burst its bank at the bottom end of the beat with the field partly flooded but managed to find a single 100 yard stretch which was just fishable in the margin. The rest of the beat was totally unfishable. Managed to land 8 chub all on meat/meat pellet on the feeder.
Despite the rain very much liked the ease of access to this beat and the ability to drive its entire length.

Brilliant morning at Beacons Resevoir what a beautiful place. arrived at 8am in torrential rain but the fish were enjoying the fresh influx of water and it wasnt long till I had a lovely Brown of about 1.5lb on my dry fly sedge pattern and a great cartwheeling scrap it gave as well.
Working my way round the shallow bays I managed to pick off 5 lovely Browns in total losing 2 and missing a couple of takes .
All on the dry fly using a single fly my own tied sedge pattern .
Nice average size with 3 over a 1lb .
Will be back soon
