Quite a tough day on this picturesque beat.
Great access and being able to drive along the beat is a bonus.
One barbel of 9.5 and a chub.

Where do I start ,parked middle gate (lower) and walk down to car park glad we did, a little over grown plus tree fallen across track. This took around 40 mins to clear not too bad for me but my mate being elderly not so good. Anyways got car down to steps down to river and they are not has bad has some reports that I have read, river in good nick there was anglers on other bank, as this was a new beat for me had a walk about first my mate fished by bridge. Have to say great beat very long and varied swims but not easy to get to water. Shallow to left of bridge deeper to right. As for the fishing I did a bit had one barbel lost one, but will deff be back to give another go.

5 degrees and felt colder with the fog which didn't lift until after midday. A hard slog with very few bites in spite of trying several swims. 1 barbel around 7lbs, 2 chub and a trout all on meat.

Very cold overnight with fog until around midday then bright sun, so not the best of conditions. Banks in treacherous state following recent flooding, also got fed up with being zapped by electric fence, no room to walk along bank in places!
Missed a couple of good bites but that was my lot, decided to pack in early, you just know when it’s not your day!

Some nice chub and a few barbel caught today. All fish came from one swim using pellets and feeder.

Misty start but the sun soon showed its face and another great day to be on the river. River itself was still dropping slowly from last weekends rain but still coloured. Settled into a swim that looked ideal and I could hold bottom about halfway with a 2oz feeder. No fish so moved after 2hrs and chose a swim 50 yards downstream. Initially fed heavily with groundbait feeder and pellet. First barbel at 2pm then caught steadily throughout the afternoon ending with 6 barbel and one chub. All fish over 6lb with best 9lb 1oz. Finished at 5pm to travel home a very contented angler.
