Feedback & Reports

The river had dropped overnight and felt that we might find a few fish in the deeper sections at the top, unfortunately 3 anglers were already in this section, settled for 2 swims at the start of the woods, tried all baits without joy.

My friend had one chub of about 3.5lb. I was using float ledgered deadbait for the Pike. Had 4 fish of approximately: 5lb, 9lb, 9lb and 11lb.
As in a previous session, the Pike went frantic at around 2:00pm for an hour when I had three of my fish. The last came at around 4:30pm. A good session, though the Pike were a little smaller than the average size.

River high coloured no fish for me tried pellet, maggot, meat.

Difficult day, not unfishable but the river was high & moving through very quickly due to the heavy rain from earlier in the week, tried several different swims, spending a few hours in each & trying the usual method & selection of baits for the Barbel which have worked for us previously, nothing caught which we put down to the low water temperature more than any of the other factors.

River conditions were high but not unsafe. Methods were deadbaiting and ledgering.

River was a little high and fast, did not get many bites but managed an 8lb barbel and 4lb chub.

Using mackerel and bluey deabait.
Four Pike: 14lb, 13lb, 9lb and 5lb.

Lost two other fish. Water colour had cleared a little, so the fish were feeding better than they were a couple of days ago when I blanked.

4 Pike

Using mackerel deadbait. Only one dropped run.

Unfortunately the conditions were so bad that I did not fish. Another time perhaps?

A bit of water on and coming through fast, very windy and some rain. One Chub mid afternoon and then a Barbel in falling light. An enjoyable day.
