Popped out for a few hours mainly to explore a new section of river (the Upper River Chew) which belongs to Knowle Angling. I took my rod along just in case obviously! To be honest I was a little disappointed, the river seemed very small (too small to be stocked with Rainbow Trout which apparently it was although I didn’t see a single one!), quite silted up and very overgrown. Wading was virtually impossible due to the deep silt/mud and casting was a nightmare. In the end I managed to tempt a couple of small Wild Brown Trout I had spotted rising by creeping up and practically dropping a small black gnat on their head! Mixed feelings about the place, really feel that the money spent on stocking Rainbows would be better spent on improving the habitat and some bank clearance!
