Feedback & Reports

Nice level in the river, which was about 30cm up on the summer average, I was fishing feeder and pellet with various baits, no fish but lost at least 6 feeders, might be better when you can wade with a float and a moving bait rather than a static one.

2 x rods. caught barbel up to 7lbs and some small chub. also some dace on the float.

6 Barbel, 4 Chub, 5 Other

THANKS WYE AND USK !

A nice day's fishing in good conditions. Nice colour in the river and rising slightly throughout the day. Between two anglers we caught eight barbel and numerous small chub. The average size of the barbel was smallish but it was good sport and I would book it again.

My fishing partner had an unfortunate accident in that his rod and reel were both pulled into the river by a passing tree branch while he reached into his bag for his flask. If anyone happens to turn up a Korum Neoteric rod + Shimano Baitrunner he would be very happy to be re-acquainted with them.

Feeder and pellet tactics. Picked up 1 early fish and then nothing until late pm for the rest.

A blanked session, a couple of fish lost early on however.

A slow days fishing, two Chub caught on Halibut pellets and one on sweetcorn.

I had hoped the drop in levels would continue but the gauge at Ross, http://www.gaugemap.co.uk/#!Detail/801/820 was showing 0.725 and this was about 0.25 higher than ideal for safe wading access to the better areas. Oh well we all have to blank sometimes, but I do believe this is my first here in many a year!
Anyway, not too much in the way of debris coming down so everyone should be able to fish, game/coarse, without any trouble for a while yet.
Bank maintenance on this beat is excellent but an easier egress point lower down on right bank, for those who are wading, would be most welcome as thrashing back upstream is exhausting! Or am I just getting old ?
