Feedback & Reports

Tough day with the river rising over 2m overnight. Managed to find a couple of swims which were still fishable half way down the stretch. Lost a couple of chub early on to paste baits - the water level was so high there were sunken bushes we couldn’t see. After moving further downstream we found some barbel and had 3 takes, landing 2 both around 7lbs - again to paste & feeder. Take care with the track - we were ok as we have a 4x4 but anything less and you would get stuck. A great day, hard work but look forward to coming back.

We arrived about midday. Weather was terrible with constant rain throughout the afternoon, causing the river to rise and push through very hard. There were only a couple of fishable swims due to high water and slippery banks. Thankfully, we managed to find a bit of slack water and bag 3 barbel up to 10lb 4oz on meat.

River falling, 2 metres down from Sunday. Very slippery and accessible swims limited. Two nice barbel to 7lb12oz and 3lb Chub. Only one swim producing.

River falling after overnight rise. Six good barbel best circa 10lbs. More effort required to make swims accessible to gentlemen anglers who fondly remember their 70th birthday as they put on supports for their arthritic knees

River rising fishing difficult. More time and effort required to create accessible swims

Not able to fish as the water level was extremely high.

Once again the conditions were difficult as the river was rising rapidly making float fishing more difficult than normal.
Nice easy access and a good choice of swims. We had some lovely roach up to 1lb 5 ozand barbel to 9lb 10oz.
excellent days fishing.

River was the colour of strong tea and belting through. 1 chub for our efforts.
