Feedback & Reports

A new venue for the four of us – seemed to spend most the day walking around looking for the best swims (some of it very fast as the river still a bit high). Would like to try it again, very attractive and varied stretch – biggest barbel was 10.12 so very pleased about that :-)

River high and fast very hard work and difficult to find a safe peg to fish, caught 2 chub on meat.

Dropping river but still a nice colour. Quiet morning with just a chub to show for our efforts however after moving around we found some barbel after lunch. Finished on 4 barbel to 8.13 and a nice 4.8 chub. Fish caught mid river using small boilie, paste & PVA bag. Otter spotted near boathouse late afternoon. See you next year!

Very high but falling. Conditions probably be perfect tomorrow. All fish from lower steadier section. Ledgered meat on bed of hemp. Beautiful beat.

Feeder fished pellets on flooded river which was 2ft higher than the day before. I tried smelly paste and flavoured luncheon meat but no bites to big baits.
