Very low and clear, predominantly float fished with meat but couldn't get them to feed.

only fished this beat in the winter when everything is a bit wet and slippery- and a trip to the stones and back is a bit of a suicide mission...a bit of an easier scramble this time of year. Plenty of barbel feeding early morning - had 6 before 7am - all on 15mm pellet. when your arm needs a rest, stick on some meat and you get chub instead. more like a quarry than a river bed - with lots of square sharp edged boulders to snag or cut you off. Really disappointed to catch several fish dragging yards of line around with them...braided hooks lengths...and all with barbed hooks. if you're going to fishy these types of snaggy areas you need to think about line and rig choices. yes i lost half a dozen fish in the rocks - but i only left em with a 4 inch hooklength and a size 12 barbless hook - not yards of tackle.

Lot of chub and a barbel

Arrived early to a beautiful morning, river very low and clear. The fish were well entrenched amongst the snags, several fish and plenty of tackle lost. Fish taken on bread and meat, others were Eels.

On holiday work my wife and sadly didn’t get to fish on this day (see previous two days’ catch reports).

All chub under a 1lb apart from 3 good ones 3 1/2 + . All caught on float using meat and corn loose feeding hemp and small pellets. Had to find a way into the river and wade to suitable spots to trot a float. Very poor access to river no real swim's, needs some clearance which would make it a very nice beat. I was just a bit disappointed I couldn't explore more of the stretch due to the overgrown bank's.

Great day. The other two were an eel and a perch
