Arrived early, nice and easy to access in general however, the bank at the lower end is treacherous to say the least. No reflection on anyone just nature eroding the bank and wet slippy mud.
1st cast lost a chub, I know this as he left me a calling card from our very brief encounter. 2nd cast lost a barbel at the net as the hook link gave out. Picked up a nice chub about 11am and then quite until 4pm when I got another chub. 2 barbel in quick succession at 5pm, hit a third which I can only assume was a barbel but obviously no-one had told it I was a paying customer as it took me straight into a snag. That was the end of that, I considered re-tackling but I figured it was a sign!

Great day and a lovely beat.

Excellent day spent with Colin the Ghillie learnt so much as a relative beginner to Salmon Fishing had one fish look at the fly and saw a bigger silver fish roll near the first croy by the hut but no fish on the bank. Probably down to my skills as the river was at a lovely level

Sharp drop in temperature overnight and bright sunny day may have put the barbel off. Tried a couple of swims and caught the chub in each of them best fish was 4lb 4oz. All caught on pellets.

Nice venue, this was my second time, will certainly be returning.

River dropping and getting clearer. Lack of weed doesn’t suit the barbel. Maybe the EA need to act regarding the pollution which seems to be the root cause of the problem. A sunny day but a chilly breeze.
