Feedback & Reports

Hard days fishing with heavy rain in the morning and the water turning chocolate colour in afternoon.
Chubb & barbel were all around 4lb, all caught on sweetcorn.
Others were dace.

Barbel 5-7lb, chub 8oz-5lb. All caught on straight ledger using plain luncheon meat, no loose feed. Nice stretch but not many accessible swims.

7 Barbel, 7 Chub

Only one rod fished, the other couldn't make it.
I arrived a little late, so missed the dawn feeding. The day was bright sunshine all day, so not a lot happening fishing wise.
Picked up a 6 to 7lb Barbel about midday all the same.
Caught the other 2 barbel and the chub in the evening, when the direct light was off the water. I was very surprised not to have caught more chub, perhaps they wanted a moving bait, as I stuck with pellet and feeder tactics.
Water level was about 0.34m on the Ross gauge, so it was low, but not too low.
All in all an enjoyable trip, thanks again to WUF for securing access.

Beautiful spot. Sunny. Water fast and not easy fishing. Managed to pull out a nice Barbel and two Chub on Pellet. Lots of Chublets on float with maggot.

Gave up fishing the two pegs on the left bank as they were pretty unsafe and moved to the opposite side with the waders and a pin / float rod.

Had a great afternoons sport on the meat trotting the inside crease with the odd random cast in the middle.

Back on the feeder (garlic pellet) for the last hour of the day and a large barbel was lost at the last knockings.

A beautiful spot and I’m glad we took float gear as it was the best way to fish it. The owl was hooting and tooting as we left.

Heavy going after very heavy rain overnight.
Beware - the banks are very steep and treacherous, really need some maintenance especially when wet.
