Lovely days fishing all fish caught on 14 mm halibut legering with PVA bags filled with mix ground bait. River was clear and with a steady flow. Just one concern website states both banks available but from where we where positioned the opposite bank looked overgrown and no visible fishable swims.

Quite a tricky day at times, all the Barbel caught in the fast water in the lucky stone pool and a few chub taken at the tail end of the pool. Most fish taken on either trotted meat or small bits of meat on the feeder. Fish spread out between all 4 rods

Very brief trip, fished for 40 mins before called away on family duty and blanked. Points for future fishers to note: a 6 mph forecast Westerly equated to a gale blowing down the lake from the South. If I had time I would have moved from the West shore to the East, being a right handed caster. Local knowledge is key.
Wading was vile. Water levels were so low that many areas were silty soft sand which I do not enjoy.
But don't let these negative comments deter you. This is a superb place to fish for wild brown trout. Some rain over winter and this will be fantastic place to fish next spring.
