Feedback & Reports

Only one 3 1/2Ib chub caught and one lost. Too many canoes passing by (many of them rude and didn't care about or even look for anglers - ploughing straight through our near bank several times) and very hot/bright. Feeder and ledger methods used with various pellets and meat baits but hardly any bites considering the reasonable flow and slight colour to the water. Of note, the track down to the car parking area is quite deeply rutted in places and some anglers from Yorkshire (booked on the adjacent Home stretch) got their van stuck and had to abort their fishing trip after kindly being pulled out by a local in a 4WD vehicle. The recent rain had affected the track and it's best left to proper 4 WD's during wet periods. Due to the very heavy canoe traffic, we won't be fishing such stretches on a weekend ever again.

Not the easiest access to the river with many swims overgrown never the less I did manage two Barbel and three decent Chub all on scaled down hooks and 6mm spicy sausage bellets all caught before 7.30am in the morning hardly a knock for the rest of the day. Long walk up the hill keeps you fit.
