Booked a day but circumstances limited it to 90mins fishing, but what a 90mins! Contacted 4 fish, missing one, losing 2 and landing a very fresh 18lber. All took a #6 Bann shrimp on sink tip line. River 2ft 6" and 4ft visibility.

Never fished this length before and wouldn't do so again under high water conditions. A combination of several feet of flood water and high overgrown banks meant there were very few fishable swims. One rod took 9 barbel from the best of the fishable spots the rest of us had to scratch about in a couple of unappealing swims for 3 barbel between us.
By far the most disappointing wuf length I have fished to date. Non of the barbel caught were over 7lb.

4 barbel, 2 each.

Good evening but caught no fish. I had a chance to try my new Tenkara rod. The river was a bit coloured and there was no much fly about.

River high but falling and reasonably clear. Difficult fishing with fly because of trees etc and the depth of water meant that fishing from the riverbed, along the river wasn't possible except for a few locations. Caught 3 trout 8-16oz on Stonefly nymph, all returned.

The river was very full and fast, Julian was not happy wading, I fell but was ok. I went and fished below the bridge and caught a good brownie 8". It is a lovely spot and I hope to book it again soon.

River in better state. 2 barbel, 6 chub and lost a cracking barbel.

Another glorious sunny day unfortunately I had to fish the same swim as yesterday due to the hight of the water. The fish were a bit more cautions today and i ended up with 6 barbel and 1 big dace all on pellets.
All in all a great couple of days and a big thank you to everyone at WUF.

River was up, probably 5ft, found it hard fishing on right bank early on, moved across the bridge and fished under (almost) the big tree by the bridge. Long stretch of slack water next to main drag. 5 Chub 2.5 lbs to 4 lbs two barbel 4lbs and 5lbs many bites missed. Meat and sweetcorn. Lovely weather and a short but beautifull stretch to visit. I forgot to mention the eel. Thank you Charles and the Foundation!

2 today, 8.5lb and 5lb.
