Love this stretch of river, conditions not great with water levels very low and not much flow, started the day at the top of the beat in the faster water, lots of chub caught and 2 nice barbel biggest approx 8lb. All fell to feeder and pellet or bollie. Moved down stream later on and caught some nice chub as the light faded. Such a pleasure to fish this river and once again left with huge smiles on our faces.

3 of us fished and caught throughout the length of the beat. Water was low and fish came all throughout the day. Lost quite a few fish too and should have perhaps caught more. Biggest barbel 9.5, biggest chub 4.5. All on feeder.

Bright day with gusty downstream wind. Water v low. Only second visit here so for newbies would add following to beat description. The lane to the beat is adjacent to the church, not opposite it. Access is definitely not suitable for anyone with any mobility issues (knees/hips etc) as from parking to river is v steep and narrow path and once there some of the swims are fished from slightly precarious stances. You will lose some gear and you need to embrace your inner canoeist. Really good day with fish spread out a bit. Also a v big eel, prob 3lbs. Picturesque, kingfishers and other wildlife. Will be back for sure.

River very low in places and limited bank access. would benefit from another 1 or 2 pegs to make it easier to get access to water. Agree with other comments to travel light as walk from car park is steep and could be slippery in wet weather. Barbel and chub showing in late afternoon/early evening. Double figure barbel and 2 pound chub. Both on pellet.
