Feedback & Reports

4 of us fished today (Monday 20th September)
Chub caught on a variety of baits, mostly ledgered meat. Nothing bigger than around the 3lb mark but plenty of “small pups”! 1 barbel caught on a piece of 10mm punched meatmeant for chub, nice pristine fish of 9.5lbs.
Lovely venue, easy access, will be back later in year. Thankyou WUF.

River incredibly low and much in need of water and this is also impacting number of fishable swims due to drops to water level. (Bring a long handled landing net if you have one!) Started in faster water where received lots of bites but all from small chub. Moved downstream as canoe traffic increased and caught chub through the day but mainly small in size. Activity improved as light faded after warm sunny day and the best chub of the day at 5lbs 4oz taken just on dusk. All fish taken on pellet & feeder tactics. No barbel today however a lovely place to spend the day and will be back once the levels improve.

A poor day’s fishing. River very clear and low, sun high and very warm. The only fish (chub of about 3.5lb) was caught very early on using luncheon meet.
