Feedback & Reports

Fished the church pool, weather bright and warm and very few canoes. Chub a mix of chublets with several bigger fish 3 to 4 1/2lb and barbel lucky to scrape 1lb. Good stretch but limited swims, worth a revisit later in the year.

This stretch is very overgrown and if the river had been higher then it would have been virtually unfishable! There were really only two areas worth fishing and those were the two larger pools mentioned on the description. The river was well coloured due to a little rain the night before and there was some encouraging surface activity. I fished with a dry dropper. On the first pool I caught a trout which was about 10inches on the dry (aggressive take) and a small grayling on the dropper. Activity stopped quite quickly as the water was almost completely still. On the second larger pool there was also some activity and hooked a much smaller trout on the dropper. Had a larger take but came off and then after about 15 casts the pool went quiet.
As with pretty much every river in the area - needs a good drop of rain!

River very low and snaggy , 2 barbel largest 5lb and 8 good sized chub were caught between 4 rods.
Usual pleasant day apart from a few inconsiderate canoeist passing through.

Plenty of fish bubbling all over the pool but no bites and no fish caught as a consolation saw plenty of wildlife visit the lake throughout the day which included Heron, Buzzard, Pheasant, Hare, Kingfisher, Skylark, Wood Pidgeon, Swallows, Collared Dove and Red Kite.

Will definitely be back hopefully with more success

Cut the day short due to rain. No fish - again :-( but fabulous lunch of meat pie and potatoes in the local village pub.... silver linings and all that.
