Feedback & Reports

4lb Grilse taken on an Black/silver Rapala. fish was slightly colored and was returned safely to the water.

River in flood, very swollen, fished from 10am-about 2pm, luncheon meat, no luck, but two pairs of peregrine falcons spotted overhead so not a wholly unsuccessful visit.

Several Barbel to a good size, river high and coloured. A good venue, would visit again. Fish caught on pellet.

Really tough day weather wise, it was blowing a gale downstream in the morning then very heavy showers all afternoon made roving tricky. Three barbel in all around 6-7 lb plus one chub 3lb and one lost to a hook pull, all fish from the lower end of the beat taken on pellet.

Strong wind & heavy rain pm, 2 rods 18 barbel to 9½lb

Difficult conditions with strong downstream wind and rain. Lost a good trout (on upstream nymph) which got into fast water where I could do little with it. A good water level but clear. A lovely little river.

Difficult day weatherwise with strong downstream wind and heavy showers. Also a lot of weed floating downstream making fishing tricky.
Nothing in the morning, better in the afternoon, but persistent heavy rain forced us to pack up, unfortunately just as things had started to pick up !
Finished with a chub of 4lb+(meat)from lower end and and a couple of barbel of 6lb(pellet)and 8.5lb(meat)from top end of beat with one good fish lost(sweetcorn)to a hook pull.
Lovely river, lovely area, shame about the weather ! We will be back.

Three trout caught in two hours on brown klinkhammer including one of 17" below the bridge at Penpont. All returned safely. Many others risen and missed. Lovely beat, easily accessible and worth spending a whole day at.

No fish caught. Bad Day! Various patterns used.
