Our first visit to this beat. We were unsure how far up the beat extends. Up past the wood?
AW decided that the gravel beach in the cattle field looked good for a wade and a spot of trotting, but cattle showed more interest than fish!
Despite flogging a number of swims in the bottom half of the beat from the orchard down we remained fishless, which was a real surprise and a disappointment as the beat seemed to promise much. It poured with rain most of the day, but river remained low and clear.

1st visit to this stretch, very impressed plenty of bank and swims to fish. River was rising and some areas difficult to fish, should have really caught more, not sure why. My mate lost a good fish from the bottom field, I fished the top section.
Will be coming back for another visit.

Water looked good but could only tempt 2 barbel. The larger (6lb) had a slightly deformed spine, a deformity I have seen in several barbel throughout the South of England as well as on the Wye . I have no idea what causes it.

Nice day ,a bit gusty at times but didn't impact the fishing. A bit slow and fish came out on pellet, maggot, and the largest barbel of 10lb 8oz on a huge chunk of luncheon meat.
