Nothing, water clear and low

2 grayling

River was high, banks were dangerous too, due to the heavy rain recently, in fact I slipped in, it was a good job I had my waders on, and managed to grab the backside weeds. The track down to the car park was also extremely tricky…we had to push ourselves a couple of times to get up the hill to leave. The Chub were caught early afternoon, both on the feeder with a pellet…weights were around 1lb and 3lb, both in excellent condition.

Conditions much better today after yesterdays downpour. Unfortunately, not much happened but still a pleasant day.

We worked our way back down from the wood carpark to the first carpark, trying swims as we went, but didn't have a sniff until we got to the bottom end. We had barbel of 2 ish and 5 ish pounds + a 4Ib 6oz chub which looked like it could tell a tale or two. The river was pushing through a bit and 4 oz leads weren't holding for long. This beat seemed less snaggy than many and as scenic as most and we'll definitely be returning. I wouldn't recommend the track with a 2 wheel-drive car if it's wet and certainly don't attempt to drive to the top car park in muddy conditions. Luckily we were in the Hilux or might have still been there now!
