Overgrown banks with no access to river. Dangerous for anglers to get to waterside. Considering the charge of £50 for 1 adult and 1 child is utterly shameful. The whole stretch is dangerous to negotiate

Scorching hot during the day, fortunately this side of the river is in the shade for most of the day. Roving tactics proved to be the order of the day, then feeding up for early evening. Very pleased with our catch of 5 barbel , 7 chub and 2 eels.

Two fishing

120 Chub

More chub????

9 Chub

What can I say, Chub were everywhere and was getting one a chuck. All chub were caught on float and feeder tactics. Lengthen the hair to 2 inches & believe it or not, 4 inches and was still getting chub, they did start getting less frequent which gave time for the barbel to find the bait. An SSG an inch from the hook was the turning point which saw me hook 9 barbel, landing 5. All between 3-5lb. Great days fishing and will definitely return.

Fished just for the evening in the lower field. All fish caught on the feeder with krill boilies. The best chub was just over 4lb, the barbel was about 6lb.

1 Barbel, 6 Chub

The day started at 6.30am with clear blue skies and rising temperatures. The Orchard beat was characterised by deep glides interspersed with gravelly runs. The bait pool is currently inaccessible due to a fallen tree, but the beach below the wood offered immediate sport with five Chub and a Barbel.
As the sun rose higher and the temperature exceeded 25 degrees, we drove to the second car park and explored the first meadow, below the Orchard.
The upper section of the meadow offers shallows and gravel beaches. The lower section is made up several deeper pools with high banks. There are however four accessible swims, where fish can be netted if care is taken on the bank.
The Chub came steadily throughout the afternoon to meat and pellet feeder. During the evening we moved to the last pool in front of the Court. This produced Barbel to 6lb+.
Given the beat is over a mile in length and each of the three sections is bordered by overgrown boundaries it pays to use the car to access the three beats. A couple of hours reconnoitring on a prior occasion would be advisable, as the conditions will very much determine your choice of location. Traditional roaming is not really an option currently in the heat of the summer with ultra low water levels.
We will be back to catch that "double"
