Feedback & Reports

Tough conditions. Almost too hot to fish. Fished in the wooded section. Didn't fish late when I suspect there would be a better chance of them feeding.
Not too happy about someone trying to fish right opposite us. Disgraceful behaviour !!
Lots of boaters paddle boarders etc having lots of fun.

Fished a few hours in the evening. Very still, but no sign of fish anywhere. No luck on spinner or fly.

Nightmare to start the day as we were thrown off the beat by a woman stating that they had to set up for a wedding for 250 guests and the designated parking area for anglers was not convenient for the land owner with large vehicles turning up.
We had already got all our tackle to the river and set up so this was yet another delay to our fishing holiday. We don't know the area and we were lucky enough to see the 2 anglers leaving beat 2 at the nearby lay-by and so we fished there for the remainder of the day (41/2 hours as it was 32 degrees. Again hot conditions and only 1 chub and a couple of roach caught. We aimed to return to the same beat the next day early as we were going home in the afternoon.

3 brownies caught and returned. Hottest day of the year! But I found the quarry pool well shaded and relatively cool with several fish sipping sub surface so I knew I stood a chance. There is a metal ladder down to the pool so no problem with access there. Wading tricky, I recommend a stick. I'll be back though!

Did not Fish - boiling hot weather and high water temp would be unpleasant for me and the fish!

6 Chub mostly around 1lb
1 small eel

Fished a few hours in the morning. River was low but in good condition. Not the usual weather or temperatures for September so non of the daddies got a look in! Missed loads of takes as plenty of fish were rising and managed to catch a couple on Olive patterns.

Fish caught before lunch on nymphs before the sun got up after which point I broke off for the afternoon. Water temp was OK. Returned in the evening hoping for dry fly action but hardly any risers. Enjoyable day I'd definitely fish it again despite the dodgy wading!
