What a smashing stretch of river, conditions were low and clear with bright sunshine but some nice chub to 4.5lb kept me occupied until the barbel got going in the evening. Had several nice barbel between 2.5 and 6.5 pounds and lost a couple in snags. Tried pellet and boillie but meat in paprika was the no 1 bait on the day. Saw quite a few salmon leaping which was nice to see. All in all a stunning stretch and a wonderful day out on the bank.

A lovely fishery, not so far to walk from the car either.
Adequate number of fishable swims which has not always been the case with some W&U venues.

Tough day. Lost good barbel. Chub all caught on luncheon meat.

Three tickets for this lovely section, somewhat spoilt by 'anglers' on the opposite bank shouting to each other for much of the day. Fishing was hard, low water levels and very clear but we all caught barbel to a best of 9lb.

Was very hard going during the day as it was sunny and clear water, was savage in the first half hours of sunrise, but really a hard struggle through the rest of the day, till sunset, where it picked up again, biggest of the day was a 5lb chub and 8.5lb barbel

Had a good day even though it was sunny and clear all day, loads of small barbel and chub caught throughout the day, lost a very big one very early mourning, and same again in the late evening! Best swim was the very last swim downstream.

It started very slowly,and unfortunately,for Chris stayed very slow with him only managing 1 Chub but Graham moved back down stream and ended the day with 6 barbel, the best being 8lb 7oz.

Pretty much agree word for word with N.M from Bristol who fished the beat on Wednesday

A fabulous water and a great result for all four anglers on this trip. There is a lot of ground to cover, and there are large areas where getting to the river is impossible, but that still leaves plenty of scope for angling in a variety of conditions. Fish were caught throughout the day, but there was a final flourish immediately before sunset. all caught on ledgered or drifted pellet, with an emphasis on keeping mobile. Beat 2 and 3 were particularly productive.
Although we were coarse fishing, there were many sightings of salmon and trout throughout the day.

Lovely, fantastic beat. Tough conditions but managed a good few fish from the upper end of the beat. All in great condition, fell to pellet and feeder tactics towards the evening
