Feedback & Reports

Given the hot , windy and sunny conditions with the level at 0.1m at RoW, this was always going to be a challenging day for the 3 of us fishing.

The video on the WUF website overstates how easy it is to fish and most pegs required above average agility. The meadow area does not have many accessible swims. Not much sign of recent bank maintenance. Note the opposite bank appears to be some form of club water with numerous cut out swims. 3 anglers fished opposite and we did not notice them catch anything

Having said that 4 chub were caught on the float , the best going around 5Lbs and the day was made by a very nice 7Lb thickset barbel that went off like a train.

Despite the barbel, this is probably not a fishery we would be returning to .

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

Its not often that you can say that the Barbel outnumbered the Chub. Happy Dayz!

1 barbel on the first cast at lunch time, on the float with meat. After that, only cub all afternoon, loads on the float, all huge fish. No barrel to be seen all day since the first. Seemed to be the pattern across all 4 days we fished. You'd catch one barbel and then you wouldn't see another again that day.

River ripping through near bottom end.
7 Barbel caught float fishing fast water with very big waggler float and banded 8mm pellet, accurate loose feeding with 6 mm pellets did the trick.
Most fish 5to7 pound, biggest 9 pounds on the button.
Red letter day, improve your skills, get on the float.

7 Barbel
