River was high but on the way down. Fished from 9am till 7pm. A few barbel early on and then the usual middle of the day quiet period before it picked up again later. Only four swims as such to pick from. A beautiful warm, sunny and enjoyable day!

I arrived at this picturesque stretch mid-afternoon and spent the first hour wandering and baiting a few likely looking spots. Weather was sunny and clear with the river looked great. I started fishing at 2pm and caught a small Barbel first cast, quickly followed by a Chub. After this early success the swim quieten off so I fished a few of the swims I'd baited earlier, although without any success.
Returning to fish my first swim an hour before dusk, I lost what felt like a good Barbel as the light started to fade. Packed up as night fell and headed off into Hereford for my tea followed by a night sleeping in the car (I must be Mad). I would be back the next day....
Both fish were caught on pellets having bait dropped pellet and hemp 30 mins prior to fishing.

Had a great day here a month ago but arrived to find river really high and flying through. Settled into the meadow area but very difficult and could only fish close in. After some advice from the ever helpful Don we managed to winkle a few out late in the day under the rod tip.

Fished the morning, 2 barbel not weighed but one probably close to doubles, one 8+. Pub for lunch, and came out to find a different river, up a lot and all manner of debris coming through. Had to abandon as a result. Came up over 0.5m morning to aft. Lovely stretch, will return, but bring lots of tackle as its a minefield! Thanks

Bright sunny day throughout. River was coloured. River was up by about a foot from the day before, although from the water marks on the tree stumps was down about a half foot from the night. Both Rods were fished leger for Barbel. Two were caught 1x 7.13Lb + 1x 6Lb.

River was well up on Sunday after all the rain on Saturday with a lot of rubbish coming down the river which made it near on impossible to fish plus it was brilliant sunshine, very warm so not ideal conditions. First day and could not get any where near the bottom swims as the river was well over the bank. Monday was a lot better with the river having dropped a foot. Still could not get to the bottom swims as the river was still over the bank and too dangerous but had a very good day in the other swims and looking forward to our next visit.
