Feedback & Reports

2x 6lb Barbel caught on normal feeder tactics through the morning session. Trotted the afternoon session in the upstream portion with a couple of small chub caught. Was joined in the river by an Otter whilst wading which was good to see.

Once we found the beat! - suggest directions need updating!
Beautiful setting opposite the weir gardens in glorious sunshine.
River coloured. Ledgered and freelined luncheon meat and cheese lost several swim feeders to unseen underwater snags.

Three anglers for the day. Stretch has changes considerably since last visit, the beach opposite the wall is now substantially overgrown. Fishing was hard with only one Barbel while tackling up and a small chub late in the afternoon. Great venue though and access good although swims are limited

Conditions good after some recent rain and overcast on the day. Fished meat and feeder. Mainly small chub with a couple around 4 IBS. Other was an Eel. Left at 3pm so not the best time of the day to catch Barbel. Some fish showed signs of spawning.
