Feedback & Reports

Fished the meadow stretch from 3 until 6, lost a good fish first cast then had nothing else from the swim. Moved to a swim in the woods for an hour at the end of the day had 1 barbel of about 3 pound to save a blank! Both swims fished with pellet and groundbait method.
Thanks WUF

1 Barbel

Mobile approach,covered a lot of water, failed to find any steady bite producing areas, fished 12 hours, canoes not too much of a problem

3 Barbel, 4 Chub

Morning started well with early barbel to me. The sky cleared and got very hot fishing then very hard but when sun went down they came back on the feed: three more for me best around 71/2 and my friend had two more including best fish of the day at 8lb, we both fished pellet and feeder chub were all small about 3lb. Great fishery, very helpful river keeper but some repair work is needed to steps leading down to swims and new swims have not had steps cut which are needed on these steep banks for safe fishing especially when wet; we will be back.

All fishes were let free. The biggest trout 1 pound

This is an attractive beat with good access when dry and always looks as if it should produce a lot of barbel. We did have a flurry of activity towards the end of the day but the fish were very localised and seemingly absent from a large stretch of the water.
5 medium sized barbel and 3 chub took a liking to our pellets after a long wait.

6 x trout 6-10 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. Water low and clear and a bright day after a rather cold night. Probably I started too early in the morning because nothing wanted to rise until about half way up. However, She Who Must Be Obeyed had scheduled a list of work for the Landrover and me later involving collecting bags of manure and taking stuff to the tip. How the British Sunday has changed! With the exception of Scotland it used to be a choice between church, chapel or going fishing. Now it's all about garden centres and recycling. Picked some blackberries on the way back down the beat.

River very clear, downstream wind a bit chilly. 5 caught, 4 on a nymph below a bushy sedge and 1 took the sedge.
