Feedback & Reports

fished the dead tree swim, struggled to hold bottom on times, switching to a 5oz + feeder did help, on times there was alot of debris collecting on the line, all in all it was just nice to get out on the bank. 2 Barbel landed, 5 fish lost, damped pellets forced into the feeder / a stodgy grounbait mix with hemp used switching between the two, And dumbell hookbaits on the hair. All Hinders range. the banks a very slippery so be careful to anyone venturing out.

Favourable weather between all the rain. River well up but fished ok. 3 barbel and 4 good size chub on a mixture of pellet and meat, plus other smaller chub,dace,bleak and the odd kamikaze minnow! Nice stretch - could do with a few more swims

Water very high due to heavy rain, very limited swim availability ,three anglers caught six barbel between us to 9lb, all caught using meat close in. Just a note ,think twice about driving down to car park if you do not have a 4x4 vehicle

Absolutely stunning beautiful beat. Recent heavy rain has caused increased flow and colour, only possible to fish the slacks and needed a larger lead than of late to hold bottom. No fish caught, however, we will be back to try our luck again.

Arrived to find the river in perfect condition but started to rise very quickly with large amounts of weed and branches coming down making fishing very difficult by the end of the day. Fished the wood section with meat being the preferred bait. Happy with our results considering the river condition which included Chub to 5 pounds and two 8 pound Barbel.
