Not fished this beat for some years, its now very overgrown and in dire need of a trim. I jumped in the last swim in the meadow, tried various baits and methods, baring the odd knock or two nothing really happened, after a swift move into the wooded area third cast i was into my first Barbel, very snaggy and lost lots of tackle in snag in front of me, apart from that i caught throughout the day until it went quiet around 2pm and decided to call it a day before the heavens opened that was forecast for the day came.
Canoe traffic was horrendous, I've never seen so many canoeist there must have been a 100 or more that past me during the day all very courteous and considerate i might add with the exception of one foul mouthed idiot.

Thanks again to the WUF and Landowners for giving us anglers great access to a great river along with all the wild life that comes with it.

Great days fishing , not the big haul of barbel we had here last bank holiday but a few thrown in for good measure. All chub were pretty hefty , biggest weighing in at 4.5 lb . A fair few fish lost due to the snaggy nature of this beat . If you take some studded waders you can retrieve your jammed rigs as it’s quite shallow here.

I recommend going Monday to Thurs here as it’s much quieter with canoe traffic . Lots of capsized boats and people getting stuck in the rocks right in front of you ! These idiots are completely ignoring the advice given to them in their brief just moments before this happens. I saw groups being briefed here about the rapids and the rocks and we’re told to keep to the right . They don’t listen !

Be aware of these morons and try your hardest to alert them. Luckily it calmed down around 2pm leaving us to enjoy the rest of our afternoon. This aside it’s still a great place to fish
