Feedback & Reports

The river was up and very coloured but fishable. Fished noon until 5pm and had 9 chub. No barbel which was surprising.

Staying very close by in Pennorth so couldn’t resist a cast on the last day of the season, more out of hope than expectation. Top half and very bottom of beat inaccessible as whilst waters had receded after v heavy weekend rain, access was still limited. No sign of salmon but a couple of o-o-s trout swiftly returned and plenty of knocks.

Trickier day than expected. While level was, dropping all the time, water was still pacy and difficult to hold bottom. Started well getting into a large Chub (4lb) on ledgered pellet, but fish managed to throw hook at net. Persisted in trying to ledger slacker water, but srruggled to settle.
In the end, opted to trot and stret peg luncheon meat and maggot for remainder of session, producing two similar sized Chun (2lb) and the highlight of the day, a good 1lb and a, quarter grayling. Beautiful fish, in superb condition and no shortage of energy.
I see there's a planning application for Glamping Pods in the field adjoining most of the pegs. Will this see the end of fishing there? Shame if so. A lovely stretch of water.
