Feedback & Reports

Nothing moved or seen apart from a small brown trout, despite the river looking really good. Fished down through with the fly a couple of times before the boats started. After lunch I took 9 barbel to 8lb from the bottom pool in quick succession so all was not lost.

Great days fishing again. The river was low and clear which was a surprise. Caught throughout the day on pellet. The rain fell very heavily and the banks were treacherous in places. In one swim it was so bad it was impossible to fish without a risk of falling in. The barbel were feeding really well however it was much too dangerous.In total 11 barbel were caught to 7lbs 6oz and 5 chub to 4lbs 10oz. There is a definite pattern to feeding at the moment. But I'm sure this will change. Looking forward to fishing this lovely stretch again on Monday and Thurs next week. No problem with canoes, I think us anglers are more upset by them than the fish.

Only fished for 4 hours, had a number of good bites, lost one fish but unfortunately did not catch anything.
River was a good 4ft down from the last time I fished this beat. Strange how everything looks so different.
An enjoyable afternoon however. Thanks WUF.

Indeed a good walk but once on the river access to swims is easy. River looked a few inches up but quite clear. I tried several pegs opposite the gardens but the fishing was quite slow catching 3 barbel and 3 chub between 1pm and 9pm. It seemed quite a lot of hard work for this return but I hope to give it another go.

6 chub & 3 eels between 3 rods with one rod taking 1 chub, 1 rod catching 5 chub to 5lb and one rod the three eels. All on meat despite trying multiple swims and multiple baits / methods.

1 x Barbel 8lbs 4 oz.

Fished above the bridge. 6 Barbel 5-6lbs and 2 chub 3-4lbs.

Didn't see any fish rising not much fly life. After about 2 hours fishing I heard an horrendous noise coming downstream. Turned out to be 2 large open metal canoes each carrying 3 people with their hulls scraping the rocks on the river bed, had to quickly move to the bankside. I had been looking forward to fishing this beat & didn't expect to be disturbed in this way. With my trip cut short by this experience I felt disappointed.

Water height 1ft 11". Fished all day with the fly, no fish caught.

This is the 3rd time we have fished this lovely beat and we caught very well taking 26 barbel all bewteen 5lb and 9lb 6oz, taken on 8mm halibut pellet. We fished from 11am until 6.30pm and caught quite well through the day but better in the last hour.
