Feedback & Reports

Five brown trout. Lots of fish in river and saw a couple of big trout. Conditions were against me - not a breath of wind and bright sun all day. The fish were very spooky as a result. No salmon seen did try for a couple of hours with the salmon rod but needs a bit of water. Very nice day, thanks.

Sorry to report no fish spotted or caught.

Slow during the day, caught bleak and dace on the trotting rod. Managed a couple of barbel each in the end though, biggest 8lb 4oz and two nice chub. Two decent fish lost, one due to a hook pull and the other found a snag. Very enjoyable day!

Barbel and Chub caught on feeder and Halibut pellets. Barbel, Chub, Trout and Dace caught on trotted bronze maggots.

River very low but four sizeable trout and some very small fish, plus a couple of salmon parr. 2 on a Klinkhammer, the rest on a small nymph.

I was doing well until something very big grabbed the bait, disappeared at warp factor eight and actually managed to snap the butt section of a Hardy Marksman feeder rod. Bait was pellet. I have no idea what it was, but I have caught 40lb carp that were nowhere near as powerful.

A lovely days fishing on my 1st visit to this beat. Arrived 9am fished until 2pm. Had a good variety of fish on heavy nymphs fished through the deeper sections. Best trout at 1 1/2lb, best grayling slightly smaller. All fish returned safely.

River was a little low but after a quiet morning and moving about a bit we found some fish had a great afternoons fishing. Thanks to Terry for great advice, am looking forward to another visit soon.

River fairly low and slightly coloured. Fished the top bend with an audience on deck chairs on the far bank. Had 3 dace on caster. Fed hemp and caster and had four barbel, biggest was 10lb. The water level dropped a foot and all bites dried up so dropped down into next peg and had 2 more barbel with another 10lber. Lovely place and a nice days fishing but a very long walk!

Returned today to find the far bank free of other anglers which gave us much more freedom to roam and much improved results. Fed very little feed today and caught on pellets, meat and crust. Great day.
