Feedback & Reports

Fished on the evening ticket and just for the last couple of hours as the sun dipped low on the Beacons.
Water temp 19c so just about doable but nothing moving at all , no spinner at all late on or sedge and even the quarry pool didnt have its usual sippers . Tough times eh.
The water was quite fishable in the runs still and the wading was fine , no slime/algae and the river bed looking fine still where there was moving water.
The very considerate farmer there has now erected a stile at the entrance gate by the road and covered the barbed wire with sacking . Always used to be a bit of a wobble here !Splendid chap!
Also, he has taken the barb wire of the gates within the fields.
A nil return but always a real pleasure to be here.

dead as a doornail :(

Very little access to the river unless you are prepared to get in, and the water is shallow enough to do so.

With no flexibility in Fishing Passport's booking/rebooking/changing beat policy for anglers due to contractual agreements heavily favouring the landowners, it would even things up a little if the landowners where at least required to make their beats moderately fishable. (Cue straight-bat reply from FP).

2 Chub

11 Barbel

86 chub between 3 and 5 pounds. Mainly caught trotting meat or cheese. Great day and worth the difficult walk.

86 Chub

River low but not too warm, no fish taken caught on fly

2 Trout

Couple of hours float fishing. Caught 4 barbel, 2 chub, lost 2.
All caught on sweetcorn

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

Both fish caught in the first 3 casts early morning. Sun came up and nothing else caught. Left at noon. Wary of the bull in the first field.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished the road sides very last swim as this seems to be the deepest section at present. I fished late evenings as the daytime temperatures are to much but currently water temperature is 23°.
I was able to pre-bait which helped although I only had two Chub of approximately 2lb-3lb.
