Feedback & Reports

Lovely place looked brilliant all week. Day booked when I could get signal then gale force winds on day put stop to anything. Was disgusted to see a group of course fishermen huddled in shelters. Who knows how many fish they have taken!!! Won't be back would rather get up check weather and buy ticket from a machine.

First fish landed and returned caught in Long Stream on size 12 Ally Shrimp weight c 9lbs

1 Salmon

Day of to a good start, my mate wimped out cos it was raining !!!! to be fair it was a wet morn with not a lot happening, but the aftn brought the sun and some activity, was targeting grayling with a little 4wt and had good fun, fish to 12in, all returned.

7 Grayling

River low and clear, settled into two swims near the car park, I quickly moved after snagging up a few times and finished with 3 chub, got desperate at the end and had the last 2 on bread, couldn't buy a bite on all different pellet or meat, CH had 4 barbel and lost 4 in a snag plus quite a few feeders, biggest weighed in at 9.1lb, basically he battered me, next stop Foy tomorrow.

4 Barbel, 3 Chub

Caught 9 chub 1 barbel all on feeder and pellet tactics
Fishing left hand bank in the furthest swim

1 Barbel, 9 Chub

2 rods fished on Friday 19th August, 1 on fly 1 spinning. Conditions were rainy in the morning and dry and mild in the afternoon.
The river was in great order with plenty of fish showing in the morning and very little canoe activity which was a bonus!
Massive plus for the day was the advice and company of resident ghillie/gilly Mick Sutton. His knowledge of the beat was superb and his stories even better! It was our first time on the beat but will always book him and strongly recommend anyone else to do the same, a really top man with a good nature, and very reasonable priced!
No fish caught but we had a superb day.

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished morning and evening. Morning very slow but took 2 fish on Greenwell glory ffrom the bottom end of the beat which has been the only place with consistently rising fish. I came back for the evening rise with sedge patterns proving particularly effective. GandH in particular.

Great day on the river once more. A steady day with fish being caught at regular intervals. Some welcome rain should help the flow.

14 Barbel, 3 Chub
