Fished short section in middle of beat late p.m. & evening. Water clear and good flow after yesterday's rain. One 8" brownie to a gold head hare's ear, otherwise quiet. Kingfisher flashing past periodically.

8 Barbel, 8 Chub

Managed not to contact with any fish at all. River had what i thought was a good tinge of colour and was carrying a little extra flow which was falling throughout the day. The banks are overgrown and some parts not really accessible. In the parts that I fished, I was confident of catching, tried various methods but to no avail. Only saw a couple of Buzzards and a huge Kite. Strangely a total lack of insects, Bees, Wasps or anything else for that matter. Parking great, map instructions excellent, took a new scenic route from home which made the journey so less stressful, pleased with that! Where are the fish?!?

We caught 6 Barbel to 9lb 3oz & 8 Chub to 4lb

Sadly the water was too high and fast after heavy rain so I did not fish. Looks like a great beat for tout. I shall be back to try it when the conditions are better

Started fishing on the beach opposite the Weir Garden, ended fishing from the top of the bank after the river rose about 5 feet in a few hours, didn't put the barbel off though.
