Feedback & Reports

With the water temperature dropping we decided to fish while we were staying at Nature's nest, we caught early morning from just inside the gate on the third field after clearing the swim the night before, float fished in the faster water in the top field for a cracking day's fishing most fish fell to waggler and pellet and went to just under 5 pounds. Will definitely be back.

More perishing chub bit boring no barbel?

Stayed at the Natures Nest at the Ballingham village end of the beat (fantastic place!) and just a short walk to the river. 6 chub from the end field first swim in the field, on float and feeder and a further 4 from the swim to the right of the concrete platform on float. Pellets used and pre baiting whilst moving between the swims worked for us

River in poor condition. Low levels and lots of weed. Most of the fishery is unfishable. Chiblets seen throughout but no barbel. Barely any bites on the tip.

Very little access to the river unless you are prepared to get in, and the water is shallow enough to do so.

With no flexibility in Fishing Passport's booking/rebooking/changing beat policy for anglers due to contractual agreements heavily favouring the landowners, it would even things up a little if the landowners where at least required to make their beats moderately fishable. (Cue straight-bat reply from FP).
