Fished this streach yesterday, had 3 Chub 2 Barbel. Today, not a bite all day. River conditions similar, but weather was cold, wet and windy.

River flow about walking pace, with a good colour. Overcast and mild. Was here 2 weeks ago, very low and clear with a lot weed coming down the river. 2 blank days! Started well with a chub first cast. Had another 2 chub and 2 barbel. Chub approx. 3lb. each. Barbel 4lb.15oz and 7lb.11oz. All fish caught on halibut pellet.

Arrived around mid day. There was a fair amount of cloud cover and with the recent rainfall pushing through the river had a good level and colour. Thought this would be perfect conditions. Started off about half way down the beat on larger 16mm halibut pellet with closed feeder feeding a few smaller pellets. Also tried paste but neither worked. No bites so moved down to just above the bridge. There was a lot of weed in the faster flowing sections. Tried lob worm but this didn't work so after speaking to one of the other really friendly fisherman there, hairrigged a size 10 hook with 12 and 8mm halibut pellet and a mix of the same in PVA bags. This produced the only fish of the day, a chub at about 4-5 pounds. Moved back up the beat to try the concrete plinth just after the entrance until dusk and had nothing more. This is a great stretch of river and I can imagine that when it's working its great, just wasn't the case today.

Lovely stretch of river spoilt only by the fact that the water had risen overnight and was coming through at great pace with debris (including a whole tree), which meant that only the very inside swims were fishable. Would certainly fish this stretch again.

Tricky fishing with weed floating through all day. Lovely looking stretch, especially stunning below the bridge.

Chub caught on rolled meat though the weed. The barbel was caught in the faster water past the bridge. River in need of more water.

A beautiful late September day and a joy to be out fishing. Feeder and float fishing for coarse species. River very low and clear. Fish fed sporadically and the 6lb barbel was a bonus late in the day.

A very pleasant day on this lovely stretch of water. All Barbel caught in the afternoon as the day was sunny and bright, water level low and very clear. Best Barbel 8lb 6oz and Chub just over 3lb.
