Feedback & Reports

River up over a metre and carrying a lot of floating weed and other debris. Difficult fishing, not helped by increasingly wet and windy weather. No bites in two swims for five hours and thought I might blank, but saved by a couple of barbel at the very end of the day.

Good start off the last Croy with 4 nice chub before it went quiet. All to feeder tactics. Tried rolling meat for the first time but no joy. It went quiet, so a quick chat to another angler saw me moving downstream where I got 2 small chub, small barbel and lost a good one to a hook pull. The afternoon spent trotting the float in where I got pointed to by the said angler. Not only spot and tactics but he also got me sorted with some spare tackle. Gent!! If you're reading it, thanks again! Got 11 chub and a barbel in the evening. Amazingly well kept beat.

The river looked perfect and so expectations for the island swim were high. We used the usual feeder technique with a variety of baits and whilst we also lost a couple of barbel the returns were not as spectacular as when we last visited. Still an excellent day out and always the chance of a PB as these chub in the swim have such a high average weight and are in excellent condition. A really well managed and presented beat which is a privilege to fish.

Another hot day. River smooth and slightly coloured. Ledger fished with pellet. Very slow but a couple of really nice barbel. Left early as Heat was quite draining. Access excellent. Good job Colin!
