A tough day. Very hot in the morning but good conditions in the afternoon. River quite low but no weed coming down so easy to hold bottom. Surprised to find two anglers just 30 yards upstream of us on the other bank. Two chub but we could not buy a bite from a barbel even in the witching hour. First ever barbel blank on this venue. We walked up to the upstream end of the beat but no effort has been made to make any swims accessible. Why doesn't the land owner allow anglers to drive the half mile upstream so that it is fished more. Anglers could then create new swims or cut back access to existing swims that are currently unfishable. Very expensive beat with limited swims.
FISHING PASSPORT NOTE: Anglers on the opposite bank is always a risk when booking a single bank fishery. If this is of concern, please ensure you book double bank fisheries. Driving cars along the full length of the riverbank is not permitted at Whitehouse because there are often cattle are in the fields and they will damage parked cars.
Efforts are being made by the keeper to clear swims at the top of the fishery this season. Four swims have been opened but these may have become overgrown through lack of use. More trimming work is due there shortly to reopen these swims and to create new ones.

We used two spinning rods with devon minnows. The river had a lot of colour in it and we saw very little sign of fish.

River very low and hot clear day. Nobody caught anything worth catching. Local anglers also on other bank also did not catch. Diesel pumps running on both sides of the river became annoying and spoilt the day as couldn't really enjoy the countryside.

Very hot day so finished at lunchtime. Quite a bit of weed being picked up. Nice barbel around mid morning on pellet and feeder. Other was an eel.
