Feedback & Reports

Difficult fishing with a lot of weed coming down the river. Only a few swims fishable with low water conditions. Found a few fish using feeder/pellet combination.

No fish caught. Although plenty of signs. Only fished for 3 hours.

No fish caught.

River low and despite trying many swims, where we had caught in the past, no fish were caught.
We were disappointed with the so called "new swims" created in the top field. Most were in very shallow areas and the minimum of work appeared to have been done. After canoeing this stretch I can suggest some far better areas to create access down the bank.

WUF note - Anglers are advised to look at the Beat Gallery on the beat page of the website to see the 15 different swims available. Whilst we understand the differing expectations from different anglers, these swims are not fishing platforms. Thick vegetation has been strimmed back to allow access to a large percentage of this beat that was previously inaccessible whilst retaining it's natural character.

5 Chub. Barbel seem to have gone on holiday!

A beautiful stretch of river, but despite various tactics and baits tried, I only managed three chublets (trotting sweetcorn) and one eel on ledgered sweetcorn! I am sure this stretch is full of fish, but just not a good day for me despite favourable conditions. Beautiful scenery and the Kingfisher on the opposite bank caught a lot more than I did!

Excellent days fishing. Fishing was hard due to water levels and canoe activity. Barbel of 5lb and chub of 3lb, all fish where caught on boilie pva tactics. I shall be back in the future for one of those doubles!
