Sunny bright conditions didn't help us in the clear water it will take a lot of rain to regain normal levels have noted a lot of cormorants about feeding in the river clearly a concern.

First visit to this picturesque venue, limited swims at upper end, was surprised with part of this fishery being "double bank fishing .("Lower Bishopswood" beat opposite side of river by car park at £10 daily ). Result ; three barbel on meat below top crib 2lb-5lb -9lb, two chub at smaller crib 5lb- 4lb on pellet


Booking Office Note: This fishery is a single bank fishery, as described in the beat notes. This does mean that the opposite bank might indeed have other anglers on it, which applies to all single bank fisheries.

Another new stretch, a little disappointing , not that many swims. The river probably needed some rain.
All fish fell to one rod.

Hopefully the two guys who have been fishing on Thomas wood had a good days fishing after getting there dates mixed up. Lots of silvers taken on the beach swim,river again very clear also had a visiting otter. Took two good chub later in the afternoon from the swim opposite the weir garden lawns

Day two on this great venue, but the fish were proving a little hard to find. Even the Gullies that were fishing our side of the bank by wading across from the other side found it hard going, but eventually we caught a few Chub and I had a lovely 11 lb 4 oz Barbel.

had one small barbel in the morning and that was it for the day . fished the legg meadow but didnt get any
action for the rest of the day. we ought to have been a bit more mobile and moved around a bit but for one reason or another we stuck it out in one swim and hoped the evening would bring the bites. it didnt . but thats fishing. lovely place to fish .

Fished the meadow, had 4 barbel, 10lb 4oz, 9lb 14oz, 9lb 14oz and 6lb. Two good sized chub as well. River seemed in good condition with plenty of large looking pike seen chasing fry out in front of me all day long. Should have packed the lure rod too! King fishers, buzzards and tree creepers were seen regularly and definitely outnumbered the canoes today! Fish came to simple Pellet and small PVA bag tactics fished in the faster water mid stream. Nice to meet Don the bailiff who was very friendly and helpful. A lovely beat, the only improvement as mentioned in the report below would be a little more room for parking if more than a couple of anglers are booked on.
