Good fishing spot sadly no Barble but plenty of good size chub.

Water a bit high which I found made both access and wading very difficult / precarious on all but the middle section. No rises seen but caught 4 fish on heavy nymphs. Missed a few more.

Fished from 1pm till 8.30pm should have stayed a little later as there were quite a few fish rising but a 2 hr journey home. River was up and quite fast flowing so didn't fish far from the bank caught grayling and trout on dry's and a small trout on a nymph and a lot of missed fish
We had the pleasure of meeting Shaun the beat owner who gave us plenty of very good advice, thank you Shaun.
A very beautiful beat will be back very soon, hopefully when A W from Ledbury has dried out after another wild swimming experience!!

We finally got to fish the beat having won the session in a W&UF auction back in November 2020! It was great fun and a genuinely memorable day. Barri the owner was really accommodating in terms of being flexible and fitting our visit in - Covid lockdowns in 2021 and last year's extended hot dry spell preventing us going before now. We couldn't have asked for more from him, having got regular phone call updates in the intervening period.

The guide Barri provided for the day - local man Lee Davis - was first class, an excellent teacher for the three of us, all fairly experienced river fly fishermen but totally new to salmon fishing and spey casting. A few hours of hands-on casting tuition was followed by a superb lunch and a good afternoon of fishing with ongoing support and advice from Lee. It's a shame the salmon proved elusive, but we were all 'hooked' nonetheless, and will be back to try again...
