Feedback & Reports

A tough day on a rising river, water levels came up by at least a metre, a continues persession of branches, tree trunks & logs passing by. Had the whole beat to myself which was brilliant for £10, found 6 swims that were fishable though only close in due to the pace of the current further out, all fish caught on pellets & feeder tactics one from the lower section & two from the upper section last thing. Brilliant sunshine most of the day a pleasure just to be there catching a Barbel was the icing on the cake

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

River in perfect condition till midday when strong wind arrived with rain and filled river with leaves. Managed 5 grayling in total and lost few.. lovely beat to fish.

Changeable weather conditions with cold rain making it feel very wintery before clearing to bright blue cold skies. River falling but still very fast and coloured with plenty of debris coming down. Kingfishers and an otter working the stretch. Decent amount of pegs some very muddy. Farmer was friendly. Nice stretch but as per other reports can be tough to find the fish.

With the weather having turned for the colder we knew water temps would be dropping and the chances of a late season barbel would be fairly remote, especially after a couple of frosts, but we decided on a day on this lovely beat anyway. As suspecting the fishing was tough although a few chub succumbed to roving tactics.
