1 Barbel

Only fished a few hours in the morning and evening in the end, as fishing was very slow in the low water conditions. Rob took a brace of 7s fishing the streamiest water available, late in the day.

Good conditions but river very low and clear, few good chub to meat early on then switched to trotting for a mixed bag of dace and some nice perch.

Some pretty poor angling led to 3 fish being lost to snapped hook links!!! but rewarded with a gorgeous 8lber to brighten my spirits

There from first light. Nothing at all until midday, chub then fed on and off all day until early evening then stopped. 2 barbel both right on dark.

Totally different weather to yesterday at How Caple, overnight rain and overcast and a lot cooler.
Didn't start fishing 'til midday, had bites from the off and consistent sport all afternoon.
A boilie/pellet seemed to work well.
Definitely be coming back here, although maybe a little lighter tacklewise as it's quite a walk.

River very low and clear. It was very sunny all day. Lots of dace and an eel caught. Lovely stretch but not ideal conditions.

It has been 5 years since last fished this beat, still as beautiful as we remember, wont leave it so long before returning again.
Fed a few swims whilst waiting for my son to arrive and as I went to collect him from roadside car park met Glynn and the landowner who were very helpful with updated info on this beat. Managed Chub and 5lb Barbel on first 3 casts of day at the Pylon run, alas that was to be final Barbel of the day. Plenty of further sport with the Chub tough from various swims including a couple on trotting gear that were both pushing 4lb.
Despite having to check booking with Landowner, WUF were back to me within 24 hours with confirmation so do not let this put you off booking this gem of a beat. Only wished we had booked to return on 2nd day rather than trying Whitehouse.

Our first time on this beat and despite the very low river we enjoyed the experience of fishing this interesting place.A combination of feeder fishing and trotting yielded us a rather surprising variety of species which included an immaculate 2lb 5oz Perch of the sort which Mr Crabtree used to bag up on....we also caught a feisty Trout in amongst the chublets,dace,bleak and minnows...Two good Barbel and a chunky Chub came late in the day and we will certainly visit the venue again in the near future.
