Feedback & Reports

Water level quite low and dropped throughout the day. Fished using feeder and hair rig. Not many bites but did manage to catch three small chub. Difficult fishing with so many canoeists during the morning (only passed between 10-12). Had some difficulty in the afternoon/evening with passing ducks and swans bumping the line. But it is a lovely stretch - was a pleasure to be on the bank.

3 Chub

A hard day's fishing, weather condition seemed perfect but that was not the case. 3 anglers fished the faster water due to river conditions being low.
SC had 3 Barbel from 7lbs to 8.2 and 4 chub
JC had 5 chub on the float
AC had 4 chub on the float

3 Barbel, 13 Chub

No water, and no fish !!!

Best Barbel was 8lb, Chub to 5lb. Fished above the woods. Barbel taken on pellet.

Strangely this was a different Doldowlod beat to the one I fished several years back. The beat is quite heavily lined with trees which doesn't make for the easiest of fishing. The day was overcast and about 18 degrees so on paper ideal conditions. We fished all morning and didn't see a thing which was in marked contrast to the day before on the Abernant beat. Around 15.00 a few grayling started to show picking off flies as they hatched up through the water. Missed several takes and then had to head back to East Anglia around 16.30. It was a lovely day on the river if a bit challenging in terms of number of fish caught.

3 of us fished and caught throughout the length of the beat. Water was low and fish came all throughout the day. Lost quite a few fish too and should have perhaps caught more. Biggest barbel 9.5, biggest chub 4.5. All on feeder.
