Feedback & Reports

One small roach and a small chub in near unfishable flood conditions but should be a nice venue when summer arrives.

Fished both Saturday & Sunday, Saturday we were greeted with 8 foot of raging flood water and Sunday it was up another 2 feet!!!! We had never seen the venue before so fish location became difficult - we managed to winkle out 6 barbel to 8lb on Saturday and 2 on the Sunday to 4lb.

Had a fantastic day. Thought it was going to be a bit of a struggle, river was high and very coloured. I fished one swim and had 9 barbel. Very happy.
Very well run fishery, keep up the good work. 1 more thing the walk up the hill is a killer but well worth it.

Nil catch

The most productive areas were the normal floodwater conditions - some break in the flow but smooth water. One rod had 3 Barbel, the other 13 so quite productive although a bit dissapointing as this is a stunning length in normal conditions.

River was 8 foot above normal height and rose another 6-12 inches through the day. Only Legg Meadow swims really fishable and fished the 2nd and 3rd pegs. 2 Barbel caught between the 2 of us .... 6lb 2oz at 10:10 and 6lb 3oz at 21:45 and one small eel. Both barbel were on double Ellipse pellets. We tried various other baits but there was nothing much in the way of activity apart from the fish. Lots of wildlife. Used feeders around 2-4oz and lost a few during the day!
Stayed at the Bunkhouse at Jovial Colliers Inn in Lydbrok which we can recommend as very good value for money, clean, friendly and got up early too cook us breakfast !
No phone signal on O2 :-(

River coloured and rising all day. 8 barbel and 10 chub all on pellet.

Difficult conditions with river rising by the hr. 1 barbel 8lbs, 1 chub 2.5lbs. Will be back.

It has not been easy. 19 barbel.

Very high and coloured and river still rising. Neither of us had a bite all day - and it rained until 6pm.
