Feedback & Reports

Conditions at the moment were always going to make the fishing tough and so it was. Tried a number of swims and methods before a nice fish of around 8lb fell to feeder tactics.

The river was low and clear and the weather was exceptionally hot. With the river as low as this there were only a very few swims which were fishable. We opted to fish the section downstream of the footbridge which seemed to offer the best combination of depth and flow. Clumps of floating streamer weed being washed downriver made it very hard work to present the bait. The combination of the the heat, low water levels, limited choice of swims and streamer weed made the day a bit of a struggle. The canoeists and swimmers all kept a sensible distance and did not disturb our day.

Really tough fishing, but managed to winkle out a Chub late morning. Fishing showing through the afternoon and evening but really put off by the hot bright conditions.

Disappointing that a stretch charging this much has so little accessible water along it's length. Even with the river at a more usual level then I can imagine netting fish being a real issue.

Very low water, very hot, no bites at all. Finished early

River very low. Fish caught on halibut pellet.Not much access to river. Disappointing that fishing from other bank is included in a £40 per year membership without such heavy restrictions on bait etc.

Amazing days fishing. Glorious weather but the river was very low, lots of streamer weed and many swimmers, kayakers and walkers! We caught steadily throughout the day, even in bright sunshine, with biggest barbel weighing 8lb and chub to 3lb all on the stickfloat.

No fish caught

A hard day fishing, river very low but not very clear which helped a little. Very enjoyable however.
