Very slow fishing. 5 anglers, all usual methods and baits. 1 barbel lost. Canoes, kayaks and paddle boarders drove us mad all day and we packed up at 3pm. Suppose we were naive to assume a Saturday in July would be anything less! Thank you to the 3 idiots who hooked my line and towed my rod 100 yards downstream at the moment I had disengaged by Baitrunner. Sincere thanks to the skilled kayaker who chased after them, retrieved my rod and reel and paddled back up the fast water to hand it back to me. If I meet you again, I would love to buy you a couple of pints of Buttybach. Notable wildlife included goshawk, otter and the usual sparrowhawk, grey wagtail, kingfisher, raven and buzzard. Other fish were an eel and a dace.

ZERO FISH.

Very low and clear water but what a beautiful spot

Tough day's fishing. Weather, I thought, were perfect conditions - overcast, warm and with some spells of rain. Struggle to get many bites and landed only two common carp (one per angler).

The last was caught as we were walking back to the car and spotted the frenzied activity in the mini pool near the gate next to the car park. Dropped a line and hooked into one within 5 minutes. Very shallow waters - struggled to get the net under the fish to land it!

Low water a bit of an issue. No sign of any barbel today.

Low water and sunshine were not a great mix but managed one nice barbel on pellets and feeder plus a small chub.
