Feedback & Reports

Couple of Chub and some silvers on the float. No Barbel. Nice venue but too many areas inaccessible.
have booking for tomorrow but will forego to fish somewhere else as .
Access to the fishery not recommended for any one with physical problems due to very steep climb back out.

Water level was a lot lower (0.25 at Byton) than the last time I was here when it was really pushing through. This time the pools and riffles were more clearly defined. Started at the bridge moving upstream and after a while came across a pool with some grayling feeding happily at the surface. Managed to catch one of them on a Griffiths gnat and spent another hour or so being given the run around by the others. Tried some other spots and had some interest shown in the fly but no takes. Enjoyable day.

Fished here a couple of years ago, but I see now that there is an extra section at the bottom end. Keen to check this out I made the long walk walk from the top end parking spot, access a little difficult but did fish the house pool. Good job I did because this was the only spot I could find any grayling! Caught 2 and lost a couple ( one was big ). Fished along the whole length picked up the odd trout here and there and constantly attacked by the vegetation all day long!
Grayling to 16" and trout to 14".
