Feedback & Reports

The weather was kind to us and the fish clearly appreciated this too as we had 13 barbel, 17 chub, 4 WBT & 2 grayling between the three rods. 12 of the barbel fell to one rod with the best going 8.05. All the fish were taken on maggot fished on a 3-4ft tail in conjunction with small maggot feeders. All the fish were taken at the lower end of the beat. We also had a slight incident concerning some youngsters who decided to start pitching rocks into our swims from the high bank opposite us. Fortunately it was short lived and soon stopped.

10 Chub - best of 4lbs 10oz. 4 Barbel - Best of 8lb 14oz Lovely day's fishing. Cracking Beat! Will be back!

River low and clear, didn't catch any pike at all.

1 barbel 6.5lbs - 1 chub 2lbs.

The second of two days on this beat and I stayed in the lower section until the late afternoon, spent the morning trotting the big pool for regular trout up to 1lb and chub to 4lb +. Really enjoyed this, roved about looking for barbel without success in late afternoon. Tried most areas near and far with a feeder, only found chub. Water temp at 9.3 c. Finally finished with barbel of 6lbish. Bankside steps were a great help where installed.

Water at 9c looked promising, water level not high on this the first of two days. Tried several swims including the jungle woodland at the top, this will be impossible to access with some growth. There really are only a handful of swims for an angler wanting to sit comfortably in the top section but a very nice beat that I will fish again. Very quiet and private. A trickle of chub before I found some barbel and caught three up to 7 lbs before packing up. Parking is right by the river so a good spot for those less able and several swims with steps that were okay. Faces West so nice sunset.

Due to unforeseen circumstances did not fish!

Weather conditions were bright and partly overcast and the river was pushing through.
Fished for the Chub with liquidised bread and flake and managed to land 3 with a further 3 lost. Fished the slack water on a roving basis.

River was pushing through pretty quick. We had 4 chub and a grayling. Beautiful part of the river.

14 chub on bread and cheese paste. River was low with a bit of colour. Most fish came from the top of the beat.
