Feedback & Reports

We decided not to travel with the river level high and rising and extreme weather forecast
I will contact the office to see if the wash off would apply

Beautiful day but very windy. Frequent showers throughout the day. Very beautiful place. We mainly fished with wet flies and streamers.

Double blank today - water was up overnight and felt markedly colder than earlier in the week, so we will blame that!

Fast rising river which after a while made a couple of the limited number of swims virtually unfishable. Very wet conditions meant that that nearest 2 car parking places were unusable. The walk from the other car park is substantial and not for the faint hearted as only real route is along the road with lorry's whizzing past. More and better info about this would have been useful. Having said that the stretch did produce the most Barbel for us. All of which were caught on pellet. Other fish were Eels!

Fishing Passport Note : It is mentioned in the beat details that parking maybe subject to ground conditions. Any suggestions about more and better information is welcome.

Landed 3 chub on ledger tactics .lost a barbel in fast flow. Difficult conditions and slippery banks made the fishing hard work but i will be back

It turns out that obsessively looking at the river level gauges will not make a flood disappear. Was a chocolate torrent and I couldn't fish. Hoping for a wash off please.

River was high after recent rain 2m at Ross and rising. Even so it fished well, fish caught throughout the day all on pellet.
Its a great venue with fantastic access and plenty of swims to go at. Thanks to Courtfield Estate and WUF.

7 Barbel

Conditions were tricky on a very high river but managed one at 9lb 8oz and lost two in the fast flow. Fished in the woods in a comfortable swim. The hill was also a lot better to drive on.

great day out on a rising 1.5m river dirty brown
Fished the close margins half way up the top of the beat with pellet and then meat first two bites resulted in unstoppable huge runs from heavy fish into the middle of the fast flow hook eventually pulled both times ( snagged fish??)

most fish came btween 1pm and 3 pm on rolled meat in the margins this day was " payback " for a rock hard day a couple of weeks ago biggest fish was over 31 inches

great day and it was safe fishing thanks to the work of stefan providing cut out outs in the bank for fishing
