Great fishing, I now know where chub go on summer holiday ....and they love their meat!!
As previously mentioned..... banks today were the Eiger ,I manufactured my own safety ropes anchored to my van but literally fell over virtually each descent/ascent. I was Bambi on ice !! Im black and blue but fishing was great .Barbel came on ledgered pellets ,chub trotted meat.
Also as previously mentioned don't go in either field if wet even if dry beforehand. I got well and truly stuck and spent a long walk and 2 hours to find a very kind fella , who, on a Saturday night , helped me out of my predicament...Thank you Robert and your tractor!!!

Swim feeder and ledger. Sweet corn caught most.

This is clearly a well looked after section. There's a wide variety of swims and access to them is generally good.
There's a short but steep climb up a footpath to get back to your car which gets the blood pumping a bit.
The lower end of the beat seems to be slightly deeper and slower whilst the upstream end is shallower and carries more pace. We opted for a couple of swims towards the upstream end.
The river held more colour than it had done in the previous few days and had also come up a bit. The fishing was steady rather than spectacular with Chub caught regularly on both straight lead and on the float. An early Barbel hinted that we might be in for a really good day but alas that was the only one.

I don’t consider myself a fine weather angler but only managed 4 hours fishing in torrential rain. Lovely stretch of river, four Chub trotting two over 4lb

Enjoyable evening session at Foy Bridge. I fished from 5 until 9.30 and used 3 of the available pegs on either side of the river. Managed to bag 7 chub, with the biggest being around 3lb. Also spotted a couple of barbel and large chub under the bridge on my arrival. Water level on the low side but plenty of small fry in the margins. Again a very nice evening of relaxed fishing.

Didn't bother fishing, area I was hoping to fish was not accessible due to fallen trees and lack of maintenance. Was also surprised to find another angle fishing when I was the only angler booked on the stretch.

Weather bad fishing great. Fish split between feeder with 8mm pellet and float fished meat. Faster water at bottom of beat was full of fish.

Really miserable weather today with persistent rain all day as well as feeling a good few degrees cooler than recent weeks.
With the weather being as it was we decided to fish one of the very few swims that we felt we could access safely as climbing down a sheer muddy bank looked like a recipe for disaster in those conditions.
After a couple of hours of sitting in the rain and with no sign of a bite for either of us we decided that there were better things to be doing. We were right in this and spent a very pleasant afternoon in the pub instead.

Fished in the afternoon heavy rain all day made conditions difficult caught 1barble 2chub and an eel all on meat
