No sign of bailiffs, no sign of any fish. Place has gone to the dogs. Been going here 20 years and to see the state it’s in is sad. And to be told it’s not weekly stocked now but fortnightly when the price of tickets keep increasing just shows it’s about making money.

Caught 5 perch on black damsel with blue flash near ticket machine.

Fishing Passport Note : The Reservoir is now stocked fortnightly (instead of weekly) but the number of stock has been increased.

Unexpectedly tough day when conditions seemed spot on. No luck all morning on feeder and trotting. Tried some slacker water in the afternoon and managed to tempt 4 chub on the gb feeder with various baits. 2 of the chub over 4lb.

8 Rainbow trout between 2 anglers. All caught on the bottom. Great day to finish the year.

Beautiful day, around 13c and clear, water was crystal clear and falling. There were some big caddis hatches throughout the day, all 6 grayling caught on small elk hair caddis or upwing drys, nymphs didn't even get a knock!
Gorgeous beat as well, really well kept.

6 Grayling

Conditions: Flow was fast with heavy boils throughout the beat. Water colour was good but had an abundance of foam at times. Be wary of large debrie, had several encounters with very large branches and a willow trunk 10 to 12 feet.
Fished with Pellets on running rig.
