Feedback & Reports

Best barbel was 8lbs 2ozs and the chub was 4lbs 8ozs. All fish were caught on pellet. Mixture of cloud and sun with a little light rain. River level was low. The end to a great 4 days fishing. Thanks to WUF for making these great fisheries available.

What a great day! On the bank 6:20am to find the river very low and I was unsure of where to fish. Found a deep-ish run and had one small barbel, a nice chub and a trout. Later Don arrived and made a suggestion on swim selection and after he left I took his advice and moved to a different pool. Wow, I'm glad I did! After 5 mins my rod rapped around and I was into a nice fish of around 6lbs which fought tremendously and was in gorgeous condition. After that I was on the edge of my seat all day as the bites where coming thick and fast. Had some really nice fish, no doubles but what a great day :) A fellow angler R is there today, hope you have a good one too! I re-booked for tomorrow!

News has been that the fishing had been hard and they were not wrong. On a cloudy day with the water clear I had one Chub of 4.5lb half way down Beat 4. Salmon were jumping and small fish showing on top. Tried a couple of other swims but no luck. Will return to try again in the spring.

1 Chub

Only one rise all day and just one knock on the nymph. Not sure where all the fish reported last week have gone.

A better day fishing for my brother who caught 6 x trout on a black klinchammer, the largest 1lb. I caught 2 trout on cats whisker. Chest waders are required to get to the fish.

River looked almost perfect just a little low, I was the only angler so had the whole beat to myself and blanked!
Directions were spot on and the lady in the white cottage helped me to the river.
Great swims in the woods that just scream barbel/chub. I ledgered meat, pellets, cheese paste but no joy-however. I could see a huge shoal of dace in the woods, Bring trotting gear and small baits...

Very tough day. River really needs some rain. Look forward to exploring a different beat in the near future. Cheers WUF.
