Feedback & Reports

Brilliant fishing, so many chub I lost count. Feeding lots of hemp and pellets, the more I feed the quantity of chub increased . At some periods the swim was black with chub and they came right underneath the feed .

Yet another great day fly fishing loads of fun caught 2 trout.

2 anglers fished. As we had booked all 5 rods on a 1mile double bank beat for exclusivity it was annoying to have another angler opposite on the lower end. I see from previous catch reports this is not the first time this has occurred this season.
Clearly two swims on the opposite have been fished quite regularly since the beginning of the season. The angler had driven to his chosen swim along the river bank below the castle.
Well maintained beat, and good access

A sultry muggy day, turned up at the bottom of the beat ..... was 18 in my truck, did a water test too in the day ... Reading 12 degrees on my thermometer ... First drama of the day saw a mink swim out to a rooty island .... I squeaked him in over he came in a rush.... I was like whoooooooooo wasn't expecting that!!!!!!! He stopped three yards away from me !! Then bolted... I watched him swim away ... quite leisurely!! I'll touch base with the farmer .... A job for my old bolt action .410 I think !!!!!
Anyway fun fishing today, did a bit of the top beat from the bridge up .... Great fun ...From midday, fish looking up properly then !!! Dry fly the whole beat .... wwweeeellllll, what else would one fish in June !!!! Lol .......
Fifteen maybe a few more to the net, usual stamp of fish for here ... eight or nine inches, with a couple perhaps ten or eleven inches ... . Fun on the dries here ... a good few risers from twoish as well .....
Tis just starting to green up with the low level and heat I guess !!!
Actually I'm writing this having a late lunch in the beat pull in, just seen the farmer, he's given me the green light on Operation Mink !!!!
A fun four hours sport nice to pass on my day to Stephen the farmer, ever so pleased it's fishing well ... we could do with a night of heavy rain to be honest ...mid week maybe ?????
Anyway time for home, and a bottle of something chilled out if the fridge, happy days !!!
