River slow shallow and very weedy, rather a lot of noisey reckless canoes again!
Fished with ledger mostly meat and corn. Quite a slow day really 1 eel.

Lovely stretch of river with beautiful surrounding, unfortunately no action for us today.

2 Great days fishing @ Thomas Wood. Fishing was outstanding as we had some rain previous 2 days. The fish caught on a method feeder. Monday fishing returned 7 fish with the biggest being a barbel of 10lb 6oz and gave a great fight. Tuesday was a quiet morning but the afternoon brought one small barbel around 2lb. Several fish lost in the afternoon/ early evening due to snagging and braking of tackle. And even a straight bending of a hook. But on the whole 2 great days @ Thomas Wood and would highly recommend on going.

River in good condition. Boat traffic made the beat difficult to fish

Bit of a struggle, Peter the fishery manager was very helpful. Caught all fish on meat on a bright day.

A lovely evening on the river made better by a lovely barbel of 9lb 8ozs. Two modest chub followed with the obligatory couple of eels. All fish fell to meat and were caught in the wooded section of the beat

A quick couple of hours this evening in the wooded section brought one nice barbel of about 6lbs and two modest chub, the biggest of which was about 3lbs. All fish taken on meat rolled through the swim

over 150 canoes passed us from 9am to 6pm so fishing was very hard, we actually caught 3 individual canoes who didn't have a clue!
River had a lot of weed but flowing fine, we saw lots of Salmon jumping and apart from the very noisy (music blaring) canoeist it was a pleasant day
we tried various baits, Pellet, meat and Cheese but caught all fish on spicy sausage?

As yesterday the barbel were small other than one 7 pounder and again were caught just above the bottom crib on single 8mm pellet being spicy sausage, halibut or krill. We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing and the easy access from car to peg was particularly welcome.

2nd trip to this lovely stretch of water. Fished through the wooded section and managed 6 barbel the biggest of which was about 6lbs.
All fish came to meat either rolled through the swim or fished on a static leger.
Would definitely come back!
