Feedback & Reports

Water was very high and fast having had a wash off previously we felt we had to go this time. No fish rising, plenty of small trout/salmon par and grayling to 8", a couple of larger grayling to 10". Most went to heavy gold head nymphs and a couple to klink & dink.

Between them all they caught 10 fish thoughout the day.

Began fishing around 10.30am. River a touch high but looking good. Rain moved in midday and hung around to mid-afternoon. Caught 8 barbel all nice sized fish and 2 big chubb on a variety of baits.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day on this beautiful stretch of river. I fished from 9.15am to 5pm and I caught eight Barbel and lost one due to a hookpull. They ranged in size from 4lb to 7lb 12oz and caught them throughout the day. The first one fell to Bacon Grill, and the rest all came on Halibut Pellets. I only caught my first ever Barbel 2 days ago (Essex boy who only fishes lakes), so for me this was a red letter day. As this was also the 4th and final day of my fishing holiday and I had struggled for bites in the fast water the previous 3 days, I'm going home on a high. I'm already planning to return asap, so thanks a lot WUF, and thanks to IYCF magazine where I first read about you.

3 barbel 18 chub all caught on pellet. River was high and very coloured but we still had two great days fishing. Accommodation at the Pound B and B next to the Boat pub was out of this world. Thanks.

8 barbel caught between two of us, biggest 8Ibs 5oz. A beautiful stretch of river with plenty of great looking areas to fish. All fish caught on pellets.

3 X Rainbow (1 - 1.5lb) all on olive fly.

Fished 4.30pm -8.30pm. First time on this beat and the river was high and coloured so had to apply educated guesswork regarding good swims. Must have guessed OK as I caught 5 Barbel from 6lbs to 8lbs 2oz and a massive Eel which thankfully unhooked itself and slithered back into the river.

1 Brown Trout on dry fly - returned. Excellent fishing beat. Great day with instructor Chris Price, invaluable teaching and guidance.
Your website and booking system are excellent and very easy to use.
Accommdation recommendation was also excellent.

Three fish caught on spinner. The water is well stocked and the fish are of good quality. Clearly however poachers had been there at night. They were leaving as I arrived. A shame.
