Feedback & Reports

Fished both the woods and field. Groundbait feeder pellet hookbait. Had 4 barbel and 7 chub. River was dropping, nice colour.

4 Barbel, 7 Chub

Warm sunny (25C), windless day. Mill pond flat. 4 sub 1lb trout caught with black brass head nymph downstream in the faster water. Several 2-4lb trout seen but none taking anything. No salmon seen. I'll say it again, that this is a most beautiful beat and one that I will keep returning to.

We had an enjoyable day in beautifully rugged countryside and caught one wild carp of around 3lbs and two chub around the 2-3lb mark, how did the chub get in there? I take it the carp are a very old strain that were introduced in the distant past and are there any other species that you know of? Looking forward to a return visit.

Was in the area so decided to do some recon and fish where I always say I would but never do.
Gave this little trib a look. Clearly knowing this is completely not the right time of year for it. Surprising more water than expected. As the description says its canopy fishing until the hut, which is is a far as I made it today before running out of time. Did a fair bit of just walking along as well. Spoked plenty of tiddlers and even managed two perfect little trout, a push to say 4 inches. Beyond the hut looks even better, saving that for next time. Bags of potential here and will be back after a nice flush in September. As expected from this perfect little stream.

Pleasant day's fishing. River carrying a bit of colour. All fish came to pellet. Barbel to 7lb, chub to 3lb.

No fish caught - a couple of salmon seen. A lovely beat with some great fly fishing water. A few canoeists towards the middle of the day. It was a hot day and not ideal fishing conditions. The river was slightly dirty to start with but dropped and cleared as the they went on. A good day was had even though we didn't catch.

The river was fishable today and as a result I was able to pick up loads of small brownies , nothing bigger than 1/2lb but all gladly taken. No larger specimens seen all day. All fish taken on size 16-18 nymphs fished on a French leader.

Perfect conditions and excellent fishing. Barbel took a while to get going but were very cooperative later in the day. The chub were extremely active and it was difficult to get a bait through to the barbel at times.
