Feedback & Reports

Began the day scraping the first frost from my windscreen and arrived at the river in bright sunshine so not the most favourable conditions. Did not have a bite until one o’clock when I found fish feeding under the far bank. Nine Chub and a Barbel all on float fished meat. A lovely stretch of well maintained river, many thanks to the owners and the foundation

1 Barbel, 9 Chub

GREAT DAY ON A PERFECT RIVER MOST OF THE CHUB WERE OVER 3LB UP TO 5LB

22 Chub

Got caught out by the fast rising water, alright until all the Summer’s debris started moving down the river, It was a branch a cast by early afternoon. I would be cautious on the mud track after rain. Glynn, the ghillie, was very helpful.

1 Barbel, 6 Chub

Blank. River level good, weather ok just light showers. But it wasn’t play time.

We only fished the afternoon, and low levels made it tricky, but we had plenty of chub to 6.2lb and a single barbel at last knocking...

Disappointing day. Just one 3ib chub on the float. Nothing on the feeder.

Fished near the pylon swim. Not easy like same time last year. Kept on changing bait and tactics to get them. They came to either meat, halibut pellets or sweetcorn.

We fished either side of the fishing hut in what looked ideal conditions. Feeder and trotting float tactics were employed using pellet and meat for hook bait. The majority of fish caught were small chub and one dace. We did have a couple of chub in the 3 - 4lb bracket but no Barbel.

WUF please note - on the map for this beat you have the wrong access route around the field for to the Fishing Hut. It should be left once in the field and then right parallel with the river and not right then left as you currently have it, Thank you.
