Feedback & Reports

Only fished for four hours because of the heat. All fish fell to either meat or pellet, trotted through via a stick float. Very enjoyable and a beautiful stretch of river.
I did notice that new pegs have been created on the opposite bank.

A hard day. Started well with 2 chub early on from the top pool to rolling meat. Then no bites for several hours. Too hot and bright. One further chub of 3 1/2 lbs at 2pm. All fish caught on meat. No bites on pellet. Canoeists were a problem with 3 canoes actually crashing into me even though I was only standing in 6 inches of water. One double canoe capsized directly in the swim. Hilarious!One family took my rod rests out and the rod and nearly myself went in the water. Many of them have no idea how to steer. I’m all for people enjoying the river but the lack of courtesy for other river users got rather tedious. Perhaps W&U foundation could have a word with the canoe companies.

Excellent days fishing arrived at 2pm weather was very hot and sunny and the river is very low and clear,decided to start on the float and caught chub steadily from the start alternating pellet and meat on the hook.The fish ranged from 2lb up to the 2 biggest of 5lb 4oz and a real old warrior of exactly 6lb that was very spawned out and could easily go 7in the winter.Stayed on until dusk and changed to groundbait feeder hoping for a barbel but unfortunately no luck.

Great days fishing in not ideal weather (very sunny).
Chub came pretty consistently & barbel at the start and end of the day.
It’s a shame there’s not more of the bank thats been maintained to be fishable.

River as yesterday, fished midday til 8. Unsurprisingly very slow through the day. All fish caught between 6 and 8. Salmon very active.

Although a bright and very warm day there was a very strong Southerly wind blowing the length of the reservoir with big waves and ‘white horses’.This was consistent all day. On the West Bank this resulted in silt in suspension in the water at least 20 yards out from the bank for the entire length of the bank.On the northern section of the east bank the silt in the water was only marginally narrower. Nothing showing - no touches with either floating and sinking line with long casts out into clear water. Nil return.
