Good to see some effort going into the maintenance of this beat, thank you. River 1'5" falling, strong wind made casting trying. A solid take off the bottom croy on bt6, but it was not to be. Catch-nil.

One salmon seen (jump). Some big chubs and some grayling caught although targeting trout. One American mink observed.

Whitney Court beat 4. Fresh 20+ LB fish to David Dugdale on spinner. Sunday afternoon. The only angler on the beat - what a waste.

First time out for salmon in 12 years, new beat, new rod, new reel. Alas nothing seen or caught. Thanks to Terry for his advice on the beat.

Lovely day out on beats 1 (morning) and 3 (afternoon). My first time out with a Salmon rod, so not anticipating to catch, and in that I was not disappointed, as I didn't catch. But I had a great time, thoroughly enjoyed the beats, and look forwards to catching a Salmon next time! Many thanks to Terry for excellent advice.

Freezing cold, water not great for fly, but caught a 12 lb springer spinning with a black flying 'C' on Beat 6. No fish showing and no one else fishing.

Another challenging but very enjoyable day on Whitney Court. Very low, clear and cold is always going to make things a little tricky. Fortunately the pike were game during the day and I managed a couple of low doubles. The chub then came out to play in the last hour before dark. Saw a juvenile otter when we first arrived and had a large dog otter scare the living daylights out of me just as it was getting dark.

Back again as there is so much water on Whitney you can't cover it all in a day. Pike didn't really want to play today but managed one nice double. Chub were elusive until the sun was going down and I managed a couple to just over 4lb. Rumours of this fishing changing ownership - hopefully that won't affect access. Ian was helpful as always with access and fishing advice.

Hard going on a clear and reasonably low river but 4 decent pike and a couple of late chub made for a good day all round.
