Feedback & Reports

Had a quick hour on the run below the Railway Bridge after helping Eifion and Geoff to pick over a thousand Himalayan Balsam between us. One sewin flashed a tail halfway down the run but wasn't interested in my fly. Loads of small trout rising again. A lovely way to spend the last couple of hours of light.

Last day ended up the same as day one. D had a chub fist cast then we had nothing for the rest of the day.
To sum it up it is a great location and under the right conditions am sure it would have produced great fishing but once booked you have to take pot luck with the conditions.
Our only complaint is the walk, it is just too much.

1 Chub

Evening session at Wyebank, first time on this stretch access really good. River really low and boy was it hot.

Unfortunately no Barbel, Managed to winkle out 6 chub up to 3 1/2lb though mostly on corn.

6 Chub

Just too hot! Nothing caught at all.

Another scorcher of a day so didn't start till 4pm and managed to winkle out a few barbs early on then went very quiet with just the chub nibbling. Fished off the rocks bit and lady in house said we should use a different footpath - not exactly obvious and would appear to involve wading rather than rock hopping!

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Too hot, one nice chub for a lot of effort.

Fished for 2 hours. Low water levels and very bright sunshine, with only a few rises noted, no fish caught.

All were caught using worm fished deep. Weather was very hot.

The fishing was hard going as expected in the sweltering heat and low river levels. We ended up with 11 chub to 3lbs and plenty of dace and chublets on feeder and waggler before retiring early to the pub. This is a lovely beat set in peaceful surroundings with good parking next to the bridge.

Not as productive as Monday but still landed and returned 7 fish, best 12oz, with 5 taken on pheasant tail nymph with lureflash tail, and 2 late on on dry wulff including the largest which smashed the wulff when tweaked across the current below rock. Some good trout come up the streamy bit out of the Chine late on but they are very wary and difficult to get them to take.
Water 19 deg and 0.4m
