Feedback & Reports

Another hot day, arrived to see chub spawning on the gravel on the far bank, quite a spectacle that lasted for several hours.
But plenty of chub 3-5lbers still feeding in one swim, but very hard for the other angler.
Access good in places
Unfortunately no barbel

28 Chub

An excellent days fishing in perfect conditions, I only managed to get there early afternoon and started catching from the word go. Most of the fish were caught in the middle stretch on small dries. Biggest being a trout of 9"

Can't wait to return!!

Single point of access at bridge with cattle then difficult and and under fallen tree trunk, difficult and dangerous exits over barbed wire fences with no stiles or marked path round non fishing area. I guess the owner of the excluded beat doing best to exclude anglers.

6 Trout, 1 Chub

Strewth a warm one, when I tackled up by the Bridge parking area down in the field !! Reading 24 degrees at half nine ..... dam warm !!!! My first priority was to dip test the river with my thermometer ..... Reading 14 degrees .... creeping up steadily !!! Truth be told we need rain in these wild streams now!! I'm a slow stealthy wader so tend to target pretty close quarter,dry fly trout .... anything else, and at the mo you'd be scuppered ... low and very very clear!!!!
Great fun as always, but I think my last session here till we get rain ..... A dozen to the net and probably another 6 or 7 coming off today .... gggrrrrrr ... I'm putting it down to low water and fish going barmy when hooked .... and they're off !!! Still good sport and in that dozen, three belters, in awkward places... hence that's why they're big!!! Probably pushing twelve maybe thirteen inches , two of them ... fab stuff !!! All fish on the dry fly as always.....Lovely confident splashy takes too !!!!
Watched a kingfisher on his perch for an age, only two yards from me .... superb to see ... Tarka must have been busy, lots of fresh prints in the bottom of the beat . Quite there too, in lots of the pools !!!
Well, was nice to cut out by the weir ....a lovely four hours.... albeit hot and sticky!!! Cows sitting tight under the oak trees on way back over thr fields....A welcome cold can out of my cool bag and a Yorkie bar ......Sorted !!! A great session on one of my favourites.... Back when we've had rain !!! Happy days ......
