River perfect, falling and clearing after much needed rain. I took my ten year old nephew barbel fishing for the first time: 4 barbel none of them under 8lb, the largest pushing double figures, 6 chub up to 4lb. Method open end feeder with banded pellet for the barbel, pek for the brassies. All fish top notch, great day cheers

Got started late. Water was silty but cleared through day. Nothing caught tried lots of flies just nothing would take. Saw two rises out of the water all day. One by Boat House Inn & the other around beat 4. Will fish again.

Mixture of sunshine and light showers. All taken from beat 4 on a variety of baits including pellets, meat and bread. Plenty of other nice looking water to explore on the next visit.

Fished the gravel bar swims on beat 4 and found good looking far bank swims with some nice fast water which we'd hoped would hold some Barbel. Tried fishing in the flow , rolling a bait through and letting the current take it well downstream but neither of us had a touch. Moved on to beat 2 around 5pm fishing just downstream of the island and just a sub 2lb Chub for our efforts.

Fishing one of my favourite beats. Great start with 5 barbel all over 8lb in 6 casts and then the sun came out and the whole river seemed to switch off. River desperately needs some rain as it was gin clear and very very low.

Saw three salmon jumping at the same time one was in excess of 20lb. Spent a couple of hours birdwatching instead of fishing!

Very warm, arrived late, there were two other anglers fishing and they caught. I had none, great day though after the dust of sheffield

Great vehicle access, it is suited better for trout and salmon with shallow runs and deep pools holding salmon which pushed out the coarse fish. One swim was excellent which produced all the fish luckily for me. And no one else in the party caught fish.
