Feedback & Reports

Misty warm conditions. River up by 1.5 metres and racing through, a bit of colour, but fining down. A hard slog, but just nice to be on the bankside, especially when sun popped its head out in the afternoon. Pellets, meat and cheese paste used. Heavy (5oz leads and cages) just about holding in slacker water. Chub came along without any huge bite indication, was actually surprised it was on, a dead weight until close in. An old warrior of the river. Half a tail and a rather curious dent on head. A fish of 5lb+ however. Washed out winter coloration.

Memorable day. Cider, cake and mince pies on the bank. A libation poured into the river. Huge numbers of Chub caught this year, but as summer progressed into Autumn, some decent Barbel too.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Didn't fish today.

Well, the Arrow grayling seem to be scarce! The river was clear, albeit running a bit higher than is comfortable and the recent floods have changed the shape of the river in a few places . Fished all the way up through the beat as best I could with deep nymphs, the only takers being the trout. It's a lovely spot but not sure I'll go back for grayling.

First visit since the recent storm and flood. Phew what damage !! Running with pace and 0.134M on the gauge. No grayling unfortunately, however, 3 OOS trout that hadn't read the script. Pleasant couple of hours trotting with the only signs coming from the deeper runs.
