This was the first time I looked at/fished this beat. It is a fairly limited stretch so far as options are concerned with no shallower areas to create pools etc. I fished on the largest Croy which is closely accessible from the middle parking lay bye, although fairly steep. A recently fallen tree just downstream from the Croy however, limited options and ruined the natural flow. Hundreds of canoes! The river was fairly low with a mild tinge of colour and normally favourable.

I only fished this swim for around 3 hours before I called it a day and moved to a day ticket beat where I caught some good chub.

2lb eel
