Feedback & Reports

Significant change of weather overnight with temperature 10C lower than the previous day. The river was still very low and clear. Rain came all morning making the banks slippy and moving around difficult, so thankful for the ropes on many pegs. Fished a number of pegs in the morning using various pellets, but not could find a bite. Eventually changed to a large piece of meat and dropped the bait off the end of my rod tip. Bait was only about 20ft from the rod, so bites when they came were dramatic! Had 4 barbel in the period noon - 4pm, then nothing more. Largest barbel when 9lb 7oz, the others all over 7lb.
The other fish was a small chublet. I did also manage to catch a minnow that had got it's head stuck in one of the holes on a feeder. He lived to fight another day!

Overall a great day although very hot sunny conditions. Barbel caught on pellet and most chub caught on the float. Great location riverside parking, we will be back. 4 x anglers

River very low so bites hard to come by. Fished with pellet feeder. Barbel was 6 and a half pounds. Best chub was over 5 pounds.

Fished feeder. Best barbel 8lb with 3 small chub

2 Barbel, 3 Chub

Low river and a bright sunny day are generally not the best conditions for fishing and that proved to be the case, could only manage some small chub and nice sized dace, that said it's a beautiful spot to spend a days fishing.

Very tough day with low river and bright conditions. Most fish came from a single spot where there seemed to be hoped up

Started midday in glorious weather again.

CL baited a swim to return to later and then had a wander and fished a swim on the feeder for the afternoon. One 8lb plus barbel for him there.

I trotted a swim and had 2 chub and one barbel in the afternoon and then decided to rove around
and do some meat rolling which got me a couple of good barbel from a swim that I made, nobody had been in it this season. Both fish over 8lbs.

CL spent the evening in his prebaited swim and had four nice barbel with three of them over 8lb .

I returned to my original swim and had three more barbel, two of those again over 8lbs.

A very good stamp of fish indeed.

Very enjoyable.

Yet another tough day with the fish seemingly not interested in feeding. Not so much as a bite all day.
