Very good fishing conditions in view it was raining which inevitably dispersed the boating and swimming traffic which can be a real issue here…..Fishing was steady and we caught one Barbel which looked every inch and ounce to be a double but of course was a 9 something…Enjoyable day and we will return soon.

River still high (covering large areas of shingle normally exposed during the summer) and coloured. Trotting with a centre pin all day - only fished the streamier swims at the bottom of the beat (below the croy). Sausage meat and luncheon meat bait. First fish turned out to the largest of the day - 4lbs. Sadly no barbel.

No work had been done on the parking area by the river - all overgrown. No really suitable for regular cars (especially if wet), only 4x4s.

River levels at 0.71 on the Ross gauge. The river was dropping after a bunch of rain a few days before. I decided once I got there I would pre bait a few swims and try and nick a bite as quickly as possible. It took a while to get a bite and my 3rd swim move I finally had a chub. The spot I dropped the most bait into I started fishing at 10:00am and by 10:30 I’d had 2 barbel and 8 chub. The spot was rocking. It dried up fairly quickly tho so I put a bit more bait in and left it for an hour. It wasn’t until 15:00pm that I managed another barbel.

Hot and sunny. Other was a dace. Hook pull on a Leviathan that I didn't see. Big barbel or perhaps salmon or carp.

Chub feeding well early in the day, the bites became fewer as the day progressed, to be expected as the sun became hotter !

River was colured and falling fished the top peg which produced a 8lb 9oz Barbel which was the best fish of the day moved to the bottom of the beat for the afternoon. Lots of well looked after pegs to fish and easy access to the river very good fishery.

River was up from previous few days by around 1 metre but falling on the day. Couldn't fish the woods, so spent time in the upper and lower fields. Majority of chub caught on meat; ranging between 1.8 and 3.12. No sign of barbel!

A bit of swim maintenance would benefit the angler; some beats are better cared for than others, and a little work here would open up a few more swims on this beat.
