Extremely disappointed with this venue after a 140 mile round trip with my 2 sons and will not be returning. Unquestionably a beautiful stretch of the river but sadly virtually impossible to get to the river to fish. Clearly not maintained and had to settle for one of only 3 accessible spots. Unless you decide to take on what looked like a very long and exhausting hike over the extremely steep hill with all your gear and back around the wood, which for me was never going to happen.
For the price charged I would expect to have more choice and better maintained sweet ims.
Unfortunately no sign of any barbel, chub were between 1 & 4lb caught on luncheon meat the other were small Dace.

Hard day’s fishing compared to our last trip in July. The day started quickly with 15 chub in the first hour between 3 anglers. Then the river started to rise and it became very challenging with weed and branches making bait presentation challenging. MF was top rod with 11 chub, DC had 7 chub including one of 5.5 lbs and a bonus small Shad which he initially claimed was a chublet. MA had 4 chub in half an hour but then only a foul hooked minnow, and a barbed hook in his arse left on the bank by some untidy angler! At least we all caught on the day - no one wants to be out for a duck!

Tricky day with the river just rising and willow branches being washed down and circling in my swim. I did think about moving but I wouldn't have avoided the rubbish that's started to move. None the less, still enjoyable and a few fish caught.

Fished sunrise to sunset for three fish, river on its bones. Cormorants were on the river so maybe that's where the fish have gone.

UNABLE TO FISH DUE TO LOW WATER AND LACK OF ACCESABLE SWIMS . NOT A PLACE FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

Very low water. I fished for three hours without a bite then called it a day.

I did not fish the beat, as in my opinion the river was unfishable.
