Feedback & Reports

Started early and Dad perched at Boys Rock while I fished a swim down. I had a barbel of about 5lbs first cast. It then went quiet for me until about 9.30am when I had another barbel of similar size followed by a chub next cast. In the mean time Dad had lost two barbel, one small one at the net and a better one to a snag. We fished on till lunch time with one more chub to my rod. I also lost a barbel going down to an 8lb hook-link to try and tempt a bite and was snapped on a rock. We then returned at about 6pm and fished till 8.15pm or so, both catching a chub first cast and Dad loosing a good barbel. Nice stretch and not a far walk from the car, would like to do a bit more exploring next time.

2 Barbel, 4 Chub

Excellent days fishing. Barbel to 9lb 5oz, chub to 4lb.

9 Barbel, 8 Chub

Fantastic opening day to the season! Arrived very early and started catching straight away. Between the 2 of us we had 9 barbel averaging 5lb and 5 chub between 2 and 3lb. Fished pellets with the open ended feeder produced more than pva bags although both caught fish. Fantastic work done to the banks creating comfortable swims.

Cracking river. Well worth the trip. 8lb barbel on heavy feeders and meat paste and a pb 20lb 11oz pike on meat paste believe it or not. Very shocked when it surfaced with the line in its scissors. Very good day. Amazing river. Will be back after summer lows.

1 Barbel, 1 Pike

Blank for both of us.

Fished the bottom end of Wyastone today from noon till 6pm. 2 anglers, 3 barbel a piece (plus 2 lost) plus one chub. Very fishable and enjoyable experience.

6 Barbel, 1 Chub

A beautiful day, conditions were perfect. One barbel each on pellet.

2 Barbel

Caught one Barbel of 10lb 9oz, on hook bait of home made cheese paste, with a maggot feeder, in high level fast flowing river about 15' from bank. Any further could not hold bottom. A fantastic fish caught (pity only one) on a river devastated by our resent flooding. Well worth the 2hr drive from Devon. Will be back soon to fish further down the stretch.

Blanked! River still high and coloured but falling steadily. Couple of Salmon active in eddies but nowt else to report. Thought we might pick up a few barbel or chub but hey thats fishing for you. I suppose after the wild weather we are just recovering from we should be grateful for a day on the banks no matter what the outcome.
