Feedback & Reports

River very low and very clear - two anglers tried several baits, fishing techniques and different swims - alas no fish and we never even registered a bite - nice spot though as they say!

River was low and clear, which resulted in the fishing being tough. Other than seeing a Pike, the only activity we experienced was a Barbel around 5lb.

Fished the lower section - needed more water to succeed. Not a bite all day.

River low and clear with bright weather. No fish caught despite changing methods and baits.

River low and clear and cold. We all fished lower beat only one bite between us at dusk. Have fished here before so know how productive it can be but conditions were wrong. Will come back in the summer.

X1 barbel and x3 chub caught here. Disappointed about access to river bank - above orchard only one possible swim. Woods dangerous to access and no fishing available here!

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

1st time at this venue, really enjoyable day. Started, in the morning, in the 1st swim by the car park. Had 3 barbel best of 9lb 4oz. Once that area went quiet moved below the wood and tried a couple of swims in the middle area. Finally caught the 4th barbel in the last hour.
Great venue, on the list for another visit.

Good days fishing on a superb beat. All Barbel caught on ledgered Halibut Pellets while the Chub (mostly small) were caught on float fished maggots. Small amount of weed coming down river during the day but not enough to seriously effect the fishing.

Another fine day greeted us and fearing the worse after three days of rain we were surprised to find the river in fine form, little bit of colour but perfect for fishing. We fished the bottom section and two of my friends were rewarded with 3 and 5 barbel all caught on pellet. The fish came throughout the day. I fished the top section and preserved with the pellet but couldn't buy a bite so float fished for a couple of hours and was rewarded with two perch of over 2lb and lost a bigger one which I managed to get to the surface but lost as he made a final dive for freedom ! I estimated him to be between 3 and 4lb.
It's a super stretch of water with many accessible swims lots of kingfishers flying low across the water buzzards with their cry gliding overhead such a wonderful place to be.
Thank you W&U
