Tricky conditions,water was dropping through the day but current was strong, moved about all day fishing in the edge for all fish on boilie fished on a feeder set up. Was visited by a red squirrel during the day which was nice to see, high air temperature made for a lovely day.

Fished afternoon only, about half way down the beat.
The river was flowing quite strong and flow seemed to increase as the day went on.
Started with a 4oz feeder but ended up having to use a 7oz feeder to hold in the flow after crossing foy bridge from hole in the wall side.
That combined with a change to a shorter hooklink and a bigger hook resulted in a small chub of around 1 1/2lb. Did have a few other knocks and enquiries but nothing came of them.
I was using a 2. 25 test curve rod, 12lb mainline to a 10lb floro hooklink which was about 2ft long. Caught the fish on a spicy sausage dumbell after trying krill boilies for the first 2 hours without a sniff.
Still unsure if you can actually fish both sides of the beat. It clearly says you can on the map and could see a few places opposite that looked fishable from the bank that could be accessed by walking down the fields on lh side of bank (looking downstream from the bridge), but remember reading you would have to wade to across to access that bank.
Perhaps someone could clarify this for me. Thanks.
Lovely place to fish. Would highly recommend others have a go.

Fishing Passport Note : Some double bank fisheries will only have agreed access on one side of the river.

Despite decent looking conditions with a rising river and warm temps it was an extremely tough day. Lost one fish to a snag early on and after that just a few bites that didn’t materialise and another lost fish. We both tried a variety of baits, Pellet, Maggot, Meat and paste wrapped Boilees but they didn’t fancy it.

Water temp still low? Either way still a lovely day to be on the river.

Should be advertised as single bank fishing, even with levels at summer low there’s no way of crossing the river to fish the left bank. Small section of river, not for the adventurer.

Fishing Passport Note : It is always worth mentioning a double bank fishery. Anglers will fish in the knowledge no-one will be fishing opposite.

Lovely stretch of river but after the recent floods and fall in temperature I was happy to manage a couple of fish.
