Feedback & Reports

Snaggy water for feeder fishing but the fish were there in decent numbers. All three anglers caught barbel up to 5lbs which made it a pretty good day out.

13 Barbel, 4 Chub, 2 Other

Lovely tranquil beat. River very low. Rises only seen at very bottom of the beat around lunchtime and at the very top in the pool below the fast water later in the afternoon. Trout on parachute adams, grayling on nymph (hare's ear). Missed a couple and lost a large fish on the nymph.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Spent most of the afternoon trotting but only small fish to show for it. Couldnt locate Chub or Barbel.

Float and feeder with bread and pellets

3 Barbel, 12 Chub

We fished at the bottom end of the fishery in the big pool. Hundreds of chub were clearly visible, milling around. I caught fish at will on a float & free lining pellets, such fun! My mates also caught lots, including at least 5 barbel.
A small amount of ranunculus is growing back in places but the fish are clearly shoaling in the deeper pools due to the lack of weed cover

30 Chub

Fished early and late. One small Chub in the morning, three small Barbel in the evening. Not as much weed as I remember from previous visit here some years ago. Looking forward to reading catch returns that complain about the large amounts of weed being cut upstream snagging lines!
