Was windering if anyone has recently fished the the Bull Hotel Stretch on the River Coln in Fairford?

Would be very interested in any advice, tactics, etc.

Plenty of discussion in the River Coln thread in the "Trout and Grayling" pages.

I fished a different (downstream) stretch of the Coln on Saturday. The water's very low and strangely cloudy but there were a lot of fish about - mostly in deep holes as you'd suspect.

I had 6 grayling on small nymphs fished NZ style and a nice little wild brownie on a Klink when I spotted a rise.

All the fish came from a fastish shallow run.

I don't know the Bull water but I'd have thought it can't be a lot different.

Hope this helps.

CFF water at Whelford/Dudgrove.

Not on day ticket, I'm afraid.

But not that far from the Bull.

Am also a member of CFF but took my father to the fairford stretch as felt more confident with him catching a few for his first river trip.

We only fished for half a day but had success and got my father his first river caught trout and a few grayling, between us had around 20 ish fish for a few hrs using ptn and shrimp patterns.

River was very low though.

I think there's a waiting list at the moment but have a look here:
