Feedback & Reports

Fly only. All trout returned. Water level very low. At the 'Sewage pool' I tested for bugs etc and it was very poor. Lots of slime covering rocks. The trout caught looked very healthy and ranged from approx .5lb to 1.5 lb. Water temp approx. 15 degrees.

Short evening session. Didn't see another soul from when I started at 18:30 until I packed up at dark, bliss.

Great fishing, almost non stop action, finished with 5 nice chub and 2 lovely barbel, biggest 8lb 13oz.

All came on boilie fished just a gentle underhand lob out using my old centrepin, no need to launch a great big bomb across the river. Fed a dozen or so boilies over the top by hand every 15 minutes or so and that was it, simple leger rig. No need to chuck loads of bait in.

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

Fished the peg 1 down stream from the steps as plenty fishes seen moving on the far bank. Day resulted in 3 chub between 2-3lb, biggest closing in on 4lb but not there yet.
Plenty of work required on the day switching bait nd rigs adjustments as well as moving the feeder through the swim to search for the fish.

The day was overcast and warm, seemingly perfect. Caught one chub from the top end and other half way down. Lost a couple in the fast water one of which I’m sure was a barbel so disappointed about that.
Most disappointing though is the description of the beat. I could find no swim in the entire length of the beat that had gravel at the bank permitting wading even in low water. On the other side of the river there are a couple of lovely wading spots giving great access to the faster water and gullies. Come on WUF am I missing something or do you need to update the beat description?!

Evening session. River low and clear. Hot weather. Many timid bites difficult to hook. Feeder using pellets and luncheon meat. Good sized chub including one of 5lbs. The other fish was a large eel.
