Feedback & Reports

River conditions in full flood following recent period of heavy rain. Max casting distance approx 15 to 20 metres otherwise lead pulled too far downstream. Weather today dry and overcast. River slowly dropping but still heavy flow beyond 20 metres. Warm Light ssw winds occasional gusts. Good conditions. End peg on the left bank selected. Other pegs not easily fishable due to flooding. Fishing to 15 max 20 metres. 3oz lead free running with 3ft mono rig with
long braid hair to meat mainly / meat buried in size 8 hook. 2 very powerful barbel lost on meat buried in hook - better fish on bigger baits. 1 small barbel and 2 chub landed. Lots of chub biting all day/ stealing meat off the hair. Fed with pellet and sticky marine halibut/krill gb. Barbel runs on larger lumps of cheesy garlic and hemp glugged luncheon meat. Rebooked weds 9th to friday 11th...hopefully hook more and land at least one of the biggger barbel!

An unusually difficult Autumn day - river up and looked perfect but only a few chub and an Eel . Lost two Barbel in the fast run at the bottom of the beat. Was an otter present when we arrived,

3 Chub, 1 Other

Water level up by over a metre since summer levels. Barbel came from the faster water on feeder and hinders baits.
Wadeing and trotting not an option today.
Be aware of wasp nest in the steps of the last peg on the far side still very active.
