Feedback & Reports

Fished from late morning 'till five on the rising brown river. A 5lb chub and an 8lb barbel caught on luncheon meat.

We spent a very wet day in Middle Hill Court this Sunday. The river was at a relatively low level as the rain had not yet taken its effect. We fished two swims near to the parking area without success in the morning and then moved slightly up stream, to a location where I was less likely to fall in, in the afternoon. From this new swim my colleague caught three barbel and lost one. The three all weighed in between 6 and 7 1/2 pounds. We would like to give this beat another go on a slightly better day which does not limit our movement quite as much. A good day despite the weather.

Water cold and low. Lots of canoeist who don't appear to keep clear of the line! A couple of Chub.

A slow day today, moved around a bit to find the fish. I had 4 barbel, best 8lb and a new PB of 10lb 12oz plus 4 chub around 3lb. My fellow angler had three barbel to around 8lb. Boillees and pellets with feeders were successful.

1 barbel, 1 pike 7lbs and several dace.

3 nice Chub and 4 good Barbel to 9lb 14oz to one rod after a biteless afternoon of trotting, switching to proper Barbel gear into dusk. The other rods had nil bites bar one which lost a big fish and one landed a Chub of 3lb. Everybody fishing the top part of the fishery in high Summer conditions and low levels, all using pellets. My pals were more than pleased for me!

This was our first visit to this venue and we opted to park up and fish the top field below Vanstone Pool where there is plenty of depth and a discernable crease. We both fished pellet feeders and finished the day with four barbel each to 9lbs 7oz.
A very enjoyable day on a very pleasant and interesting beat. We will be back.

No fish caught but one lost after a short encounter in Ford Stream. Conditions sunny and 16degree Celsius. size 10 Thunder and Lightening

My first time on this beat, which is very diverse, giving plenty of choice. I fished at the top end of the fishery, using pellet and feeder, with great results, twelve barbel up to almost nine pounds and one decent chub. I also lost three in a mid river snag, before I worked out how to avoid it. A great days fishing on a really nice stretch.

6lb and 4lb Barbel and a 3lb Chub, all caught on Richworth Xtracta boilies and pellets.
