Feedback & Reports

We had a great day, the river was 3.5ft. We fished a few swims in the middle of beat. It was a waiting game for the barbel to respond. We fished with pellet and hemp in feeders. Really worked hard for our fish. We finished the day with 11 barbel between 6lbs to 9lbs and 10 big chub between 3lbs to over 5lbs. Excellent day. We will be back.

2 Barbel on hallibut pellet. 1 Chub & 1 Eel, same bait.

Nice water only fished for a few hours in the morning. 5 barbel, 3 to 7 pounds on pellets and meat. River a little high and fast fished close in. Good directions and service, thank you.

Four barbel & five chub.

13 barbel 2 chub. Barbel were between 5lb and 8lb. Chub were 4lb. River was 4ft on and dropping. Caught fish using pellet and hemp. Lovely peaceful water. Can't wait to come back.

8 Barbel and half-dozen chub fishing lower and upper sections, starting at 4pm, so short session then. Bright warm showery conditions with till 4 foot on. A favourite peaceful beat nonetheless; in one view in front of me I had a Heron's nest with two Herons busy, a Buzzard feeding it's youngster in the line of trees with what looked like a rabbit, and a Perigrine at 30 feet up, up and down the far bank as well as overhead in full view, feeding on flying insects for all afternoon. Then a shooter in the field behind me into dusk, with a couple shots belting into the river. Good job I was downmazing day all round the bank. Amazing afternoon all-round.

Correction to the hawk quartering the opposite bank on Weds 20th June; not a Peregrine catching insects, a Hobby. So, so wrong then...

A dozen barbel and 1 chub between the two of us, best barbel : 8lb. Sunny all day but despite the falling river (though still coloured), no fish from mid morning till late afternoon.

Another really nice day how lucky can I be with the weather. River a bit low and clear like yesterday but the barbel still had a right munch. Fished a few swims towards the top of beat and after a bit of a late start managed 14 barbel to about 8lb and one chub about 4.5lb all in great nick. Again used the same pellet hemp combo. Once again a stunning stretch of river. I can't thank WUF enough for the two days fishing I've just had, what a way to end the season - roll on june.

Two chub caught on breadflake in the morning. And a small pike in the afternoon. Great beat.
