Feedback & Reports

All caught on PTN, water levels low but fishable until the heavens opened up relentlessly, only fished about 100m or so upstream from the entry point straight across the fields from the two gates, I would imagine it would be difficult to fish if the water was its normal self as there is barbed wire fences along the banks, fortunately I could Wade as it was only about 2ft deep along the length I fished

The only fish caught all day and the only bite I had all day. A chub of about 1.5lbs - saved the Blank !

Blanked

Day 2 … very blustery, overcast and heavy rain was forecast for the afternoon. Fished two of the swims downstream of the woods - challenged by the wind and constant stream of leaves hooking up on my feeder line. Stuck with same tactics of feeder with mixed pellets, ground bait and meat or boilee as the hookbait.

Absolutely nothing all day until literally my very last cast - saved from a blank by a stonking 9lb 5oz barbel. By the time I’d taken a photo and let the fish recover, the light was fading fast. Had a bit of a nightmare packing up… it was raining, a swan crawled up the bank and was sticking it’s head into my gear, the brolly pole wouldn’t unscrew from the tilt mechanism and all this whilst trying to walk up an increasingly slippery bank from all the rain… ended up walking back to the car with a half open brolly … I was quite warm by the time I got back. A most memorable finish to my trip.

…I will return

Had intended to do a roving session but due to the very wet weather ended up trying just a couple of swims, started about halfway along the stretch and ended up at the big pool at the lower end,managed a nice Barbel around 7 lbs and 3 chub up to around 4 lbs,looking forward to returning here next year.

River in great condition but with the rain the banks were slippery. All fish came on luncheon meat or halibut pellets.
