4 Trout between us 10-12"

4 barbel 5 - 7lbs 9oz and 1 small chub all caught on pellets, between two rods. Very nice fishery, bank access very good, vehicle access easy when dry. Fished all day for nothing until 4.30 and then it got quite exciting. Big fish moving, probably pike but could have been salmon. Enjoyed our day very much. Excellent service from the office staff, thankyou very much.

5 Barbel to 7lbs, 1 Chub of 3lbs, water had a slight tinge to it, weather warm.

Species caught:

5 x brown trout (10-11 inch)
3 x grayling (10-12 inch)
several small trout

Fly: Czech Nymph

Had a lovely day at Luggsmouth....we had about 7 barbel (up to about 6lb) between us and a couple of chub....river low and clear, could do with a fall of rain! Sadly had to end the session early, but will definately return.

1st rod caught an 8lb barbel and 9 x 1.75lb chub. 2nd rod caught 1 x 3lb chub. 3rd rod - blank. Lovely stretch.

2 rods. Only 2 chub caught (5lb and 3lb). 3 barbel were lost. Looks like it could produce when everything just right.

First day we had 8 barbel 12 chub. Good days fishing.

River was up a foot from the day before and coloured but dropped fairly fast as the day went on. I returned two Brownies of about nine and ten inches, which were caught on a blue and brown Klinkhammer.

First time on this beat. The four musketeers started out with two fishing the 'Corner Tree' area and two fishing just below the 'Vanstone Pool'. Early results from the 'Corner Tree' were poor returning one Chub. On the other hand the angler fishing lowest at this point 'Ton up Tony' had been smashed up four times by lunchtime. (these bites proved to be his only bites on the day). Just above him 'Two Ton Trev' was having no joy either and both anglers were shedding rigs on the snaggy bottom 'BE AWARE!' 'Jilted John' and 'Bailiff Russ' in the corner swim decided to move downstream in search of the barbel. J settled in to a nice comfortable swim just below Tony and R found his way down a steep section of bank lower down the river. By late afternoon, the heavens opened and R started to return fish to the folds of his net, all on pellet based baits. But like I said, the heavens opened and by the time we started packing up at about 19:00 hrs, the bank that R had found his way down was anything but passable, leaving no way up! Eventually with a long length of rope and two human extensions, R was retrieved. All in all a great days fishing, only returning 6 chub and two barbel (biggest falling, last cast to Trev @ 9lb 4oz) but fantastic fishing nevertheless. All fish caught on fishmeal pellet.
Just be careful when selecting swims in times of inclement weather!
