Feedback & Reports

fish from both wood area and Legg Meadow. This fishery has deteriorated massively since last visit. Swims in Legg Meadow were dangerously high above water for both angle and fish (when landing them). Path along the bank is very overgrown and dangerous in parts. A once good fishery is now sadly in a very advanced state of decline.

Tough conditions. Almost too hot to fish. Fished in the wooded section. Didn't fish late when I suspect there would be a better chance of them feeding.
Not too happy about someone trying to fish right opposite us. Disgraceful behaviour !!
Lots of boaters paddle boarders etc having lots of fun.

4 anglers for an evening, hot day new ti the location, found it difficult locating the water the google maps on the site wasn't working and the water was not well maintained it was difficult to know if this was a fishery or not.

Once we started fishing we managed 3 eels between us

What seemed like perfect conditions, over cast cloudy, drizzly rain, how wrong one could be.
I decided to venture further into the meadow..... big mistake the balsam was head height and the path, if you can call it a path was very narrow and almost blends in with the surrounding foliage !! it was like being in the jungle, i kid you not !!
The Fishing was very difficult from the off and despite three early moves i had only One Chub to my name, but what a fish - 5lb 8oz's new PB !
Shame this beat is being left so neglected it was such a prolific stretch and can be once again with a bit of trimming a better peg access and parking at the pumping station which is non existent?.
By mid-day the flood of canoeist intensified, all polite and considerate i have to say, by then the sun had broken through and with the bites drying up i decided to call it a day.
Thanks again to the WUF and land owners for giving us great access to such a great river in perfect surrounding and all the wild life that comes with it.

1 chub (1.5 lb) on trotted bread. Hard work. River high and banks difficult to access.

Not fished this beat for some years, its now very overgrown and in dire need of a trim. I jumped in the last swim in the meadow, tried various baits and methods, baring the odd knock or two nothing really happened, after a swift move into the wooded area third cast i was into my first Barbel, very snaggy and lost lots of tackle in snag in front of me, apart from that i caught throughout the day until it went quiet around 2pm and decided to call it a day before the heavens opened that was forecast for the day came.
Canoe traffic was horrendous, I've never seen so many canoeist there must have been a 100 or more that past me during the day all very courteous and considerate i might add with the exception of one foul mouthed idiot.

Thanks again to the WUF and Landowners for giving us anglers great access to a great river along with all the wild life that comes with it.
