Hot and Bright. No fish caught, but good day out. There were some rises around midday, on the north side near the rock face where it seems to get deeper, quicker. Only had a floating line with me, so limited options but tried to get deeper with some weighted wet flies and buzzers, no joy.

A beautiful Bank Holiday saturday, river was low and coloured but sport was steady all day. 2 of us fished the Steps pegs with pretty decent bank conditions & apart from an armada of canoes between 2 & 3 pm it was pretty quiet and certainly didn't spoil the day in any way. Chub from 1 - 5lb were a plenty but the elusive Barbel failed to put in an appearance. Fish were in lovely condition and had a good chat with the water bailiff / owner. Thoroughly recommend booking this beat & we will have to go back and get in to those Barbel.

Only fished the evening but no fish, a few rising late on but remained elusive. Tourists and dogs in the water at top end as it was a lovely evening. Also 3 anglers from other bank in the river outside Chainbridge.

Always a pleasure to be here and the fishing is secondary on this beautiful beat....It was a touch slow for me but both the Barbel were good fish and having caught a Perch the previous day at Lower Cannon Bridge on sweetcorn I followed it up here with an Eel on the same bait...interesting...Obviously some work has been undertaken which has enhanced this venue and thanks to those involved for their efforts. The beat appears to be fishing well despite the low water and am pleased to report the fish all fought well and recovered quickly.
