Feedback & Reports

River had fined down from previous day and looked much more promising. We both fished the forested section, no bites until midday when one of the two swims switched on. Halibut pellets over hemp was the successful combination.

Fished the field section, neither of us had a bite all day long. River was high and coloured.

First time on this beat so always an exciting prospect. Greeted by a very chocolate brown fast flowing, rising river, so decided to walk the beat to seek out any possible swims. Chose to start at the church end and work back trying the slack areas close in. The one other was an eel, caught on cheese, our only bite of the morning. Had a break and decided to give the wooded swims a try, opted for about the 7th swim along, using cheese and garlic soft hookers wrapped in meaty paste, which resulted in the 2 barbel ( 5lb and 7lb 12oz). With the river continuing to rise we called it a day, but will return on a normal day.

Stunning beat, we parked at the church and started in the fields, plenty of options and caught from there and the woods. It’s a fair walk so travel light !

Limited number of swims accessible. Water in perfect condition. Fish came late in the day just after light dropped. Halibut pellet on straight lead did the biz. 8lb 4 and 8lb 3 on the scales.
