I have fished this stretch before but not for some time and was encouraged by the notes on the website regarding improvements for 2020. As we arrived, it became very clear that the majority of the stretch is virtually ‘unfishable’ due to lack of bankside access (everything is so overgrown). I get the wild fishing/nature argument but when the opposite bank is so well prepared for anglers this doesn’t add up - it’s just not been worked on. There were two fishable areas - both in the woods and unless you are Spider-Man other areas are off limits. All in all a hard days fishing for 4 chub all caught on feeder/meat, lack of move possibilities limiting the days fishing.
