Feedback & Reports

River was quite coloured but level and temperature seemed okay so was optimistic. Fished a number of swims in the first field in rotation for most of the day without a bite. Went for a walk and fished a few tight swims further up where I managed to find a small chub happy to take a chunk of bread. Returned to the bottom field and went through the swims again with nothing to show for it. Eventually as everything was being packed away the tip went round and I was attached to a decent chub that went 4-1 on the scales. Really expected more than just two chub in the day and was left wondering where that 4-1 and his mates had been for the rest of the day.

3 anglers using feeder and pellet, river falling but still some colour and moving through the beat quite fast, 2 Chub.
The path from road down to river was extremely slippery, the mud being very wet from recent rain.

Fabulous days fishing with 2 chub caught. Lost a couple aswell but I didn’t really mind, it was just good to be there. Fish caught on feeder.

Lovely stretch and enjoyed the day fishing for Barbel and Chub. No Barbel today but lots of bites from Chub as I roamed the banks. Managed two on the bank - largest 4lb 4oz.

River had rose 1.5m evening before, peaked and dropped a few feet whilst fishing. Looked right for a flood water barbel, and plenty of spots to drop in for half hour. Only the one bite between us though, an absolute cracker of a bite!....... which was missed. Pleasant day out despite the lack of fish.
