Came back to same swim full of expectation, not a bite in 3 hours! Moved upstream to shallower swim and 3 casts later almost had the rod pulled out of my hands! Once again barbel and chub took boiling. Weather and River conditions were perfect on both days. It was a real privilege to fish such a fantastic river so a massive thank you to all those who look after it. Can't wait to get back next season.

After the heartbreak of losing 3 barbel on last year's trip I couldn't believe my luck when I caught a barbel weighing in at 9lb 6oz. Special thanks goes to my fishing mate Arran who gave up his swim to make this capture possible. It took me several hours to stop shaking with excitement! The barbel and the chub were all caught on boiling again, thanks to Arran for supplying me with bait screws and rig advice.

Fished a large part of Beat 4. Hard going.

Second day of good water level and flow but very clear. Fishing the seams of beat 4 left hand bank with feeder and pellet produced good if small chub for both rods and later in the afternoon each rod caught excellent barbel between 8 and 10lbs. Yet again Whitney Court doesn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for our next trip

Fishing beat 2 river in great condition if a little clear for barbel. 4 Chub 3-5lb in immaculate condition. 1 barbel at 9lb also in great condition. Fantastic half day fishing with most of the action between 17:00 and 17:30

Slightly overcast but fine day with perfect water but the fish obviously thought otherwise. Not a nibble all day.
Spectacular bird life all day including a small flock of 10 Jays flying quite high for this species; They came back later on, going upstream over the river, again quite high up & trying to keep up with a small bunch of woodpigeons. Not seen this behaviour before? Kites by the dozen as there was some cultivating & drilling going on on the opposite bank.
Lovely day day to be doing very little. Thanks WUF.

Great day on a wonderful river, sadly the pike were not interested. The lock on the gate does not close.
