Feedback & Reports

A late afternoon session, river was low and clear, but with good cloud cover and mild temperature all seemed about perfect...fished pellet feeder with bites coming from the off, barbel to 7lb and chub just to under 5lb, excellent short session.

Thought I would run a fly through the usual hot-spots but nothing found nor seen, disappointing but not surprising with the conditions we've had this summer!
Anyway, as I have always promised myself a go with the centre-pin and trotting rod, I put my years of wading knowledge of this beat to better use and found a shoal of chub at the 1 to 2lb mark; lost count at around 17-18 but estimate a total of 22 within 2 hours. All on sweetcorn and down two narrow runs just off the willow on left bank. Nothing on bread or meat, just the corn! If it hadn't been so cold standing in 3ft of water I would have had more as they were still feeding when I left.
Time to dig out the thermals?
