River was quite high but fishable although a little too coloured after the weekends rainfall. First time on this beat so more of a reconnaissance mission than a serious fishing trip. Lovely stretch with lots of pools and undercuts and looks "fishy" so will definitely be back although would not recommend it to soon after heavy rain as the Red Herefordshire run off obviously takes a little time to clear.

Worked hard for the fish I caught yesterday the river was in flood 3m plus. Moved swims 6 times and eventually found bites at the swim opposite the mansion house close in. Old faithful spam did the trick. Barbel was 8 pound chub up to 4

We were advised that the water was probably a bit high for most of this venue. It was good advice!
Had an interesting, exhaustive and thoroughly exhausting walk covering virtually the whole of this lengthy fishery until eventually one of our number declared 'No more', set up his stall where he ran out of steam, and promptly caught a barbel! this was a little way downstream from the toll-bridge. The other two of us in the meantime staggered into the tangled wilderness above the toll-bridge where we both lost the only two fish we hooked. Will return one day when conditions are less challenging – a wild bit of river in a beautiful setting.
