Difficult day as the river was very coloured. Caught chub at dusk.

Water level low but had 2 chub and a barbel. Note to the person who left discarded tins of san Pelegríno and Vimto in the long grass .. I have taken your rubbish home. That’s how beats get lost .. so don’t be a litter lout you dirty pig.

Access to the upstream section is limited to 3 paths and very difficult to walk the river path. The down stream section has only 4 fishable swims.
Both sections are not as advertised and need work doing.

The river was a bit low but still great to be back on this beat which is one of my favourite fisheries. We spent most of our day fishing the lower meadow section and the Chub were obliging but the Barbel were elusive. A very enjoyable day though and we will come back when the conditions are more favourable. Thanks W&UF.

6 chub, largest around 4lb, 1 small barbel about 2 lb. All immaculate fish caught in a beautiful setting. Fished upper part of the beat in faster water. Agree with some of the previous comments regarding difficulty with access but I also like the wildness that brings. Thank you for the opportunity of fishing such a fantastic stretch of river.

4 anglers fished. Plenty of small chub on the feed throughout but Barbel all from one swim.
Similar conditions to the previous Monday. Still a nice day fishing. Let’s hope for some much needed rain.

Fished the downstream fast water section. Started really well with a barbel and non stop chub. To the feeder.Then bites dried up. Saw a few barbel under the the really overgrown middle section bankside tree line but just no way to cut a swim to get a bait to them. Very frustrating. My fishing partner ventured further down near a cattle drink. & was accosted by a number of over curious cows. Which had him scampering back. All in all an interesting day.
