Feedback & Reports

River level was quite low and slow. Crystal clear water. Wildlife in abundance! Kingfishers (3 at once), a family of mink (5 or 6) tumbling and playing not 25 feet away on the other river bank, song thrush. Caught a 9 inch trout in one of the deep pools - they were chasing the nymph on the retrieve. Stunning day.

Conditions good after some recent rain and overcast on the day. Fished meat and feeder. Mainly small chub with a couple around 4 IBS. Other was an Eel. Left at 3pm so not the best time of the day to catch Barbel. Some fish showed signs of spawning.
