Cut down all my tackle for the long walk, 45mins later was fishing on this picturesque section. Unfortunately no fish, but a nice day out.

Fished 11am to 6.30pm, a fairly cold day (approx 6 degrees), river quite low and clear. Started opposite the Weir Gardens on a gravel beach, caught 2 barbel (biggest 9lb) but lost too many feeders so moved up river to the next peg. Caught 3 more barbel and a very small chub. Mid afternoon moved down to the field you arrive in, caught another barbel and one more chub. All fish caught on 14mm pellet, despite alternating between pellet and meat. In total caught 6 barbel and two chub, a very enjoyable day.

Only small dace caught trotting, couldn't find the chub. Lovely trotting water though. Put the pike rod into a couple of likely looking lies but not a sniff - probably need a few frosts and felt I should have been throwing lures for them so early in the season. Switched to barbel for the last hour having seen a couple roll - caught 7 to 8-15. Lovely autumn day to be by the waterside, especially at this location, it really is a cracking stretch of river.

8 fish caught, a combination of Chub and Barbel with the largest Barbel being 7lb. A big Pike lives on this beat. The access road down to the fishery from the car parking area is in a poor state, park up and then a 15min walk to the beat.

Apart from the slight frost the river looked perfect. Fining down at more or less spot on level. But dispite this we struggled. Two barbel 4lb & 7lb & 5 chub 2lb each. This is great looking beat with plenty of accessable swims, will be back.

Two rods caught 5 barbel to 7.5 lbs and 6 chub to 4lbs on a variety of baits, meat, pellet, sweetcorn.

2 x Barbel 7 & 9lb, caught on halibut pellet, 3 x Chub 5, 4 & 1lb, caught on spam. Fantastic location, great days fishing.

river levels dropping ,one barbel 5lb 7oz ,two chub 3lb plus.looked a very good section when the river is at reasonable levels although the walk is a good distance

River high and muddy, tried a variety of pegs and tactics but to no avail,not a single bite.

We caught 4 Barbel ,8lbs 8oz, 7lbs 2oz, 7lbs 8oz and 6lbs 2oz. We fished the double swim just down from the weir pool.
