Lovely setting, river low and clear. Mainly on the float in amongst the armada of canoes!

It's been a couple of years since i was last on this beat, and boy it didn't disappoint !! Arrived early and walked down the path to the river, as expected it was very low and clear, although it was cloudy and over cast but warm, i had great expectations of catching.

Walked to the very top of the beat and caught from the off, started on the float with meat and feeding halibut pellets, alternating to groundbait feeder and meat, worked my way back slowly stopping off at every fishable swim (only 4 or 5 due the the high banks as i could not get my 3m landing net near the water), however for those where i could thankfully all caught me fish, the best being a 10lb 6oz Barbel a new PB for me and first over the magical 10lb mark along with 6 Chub over the 4lb mark all the rest were 2-3lb mark, approximately 20+ chub lost count after awhile, all gave a great account of themselves and were all rested and returned.

Sun broke through nearer lunch time and with the armada of canoes increasing and bites dying i decided to call it a day early afternoon. In the heat of the afternoon, i was not looking forward to the trek back up "heart attack" hill , teach me not to travel light !! everything bar the kitchen sink !!

Great days fishing, thanks as always to WUF and land owner for giving us great access to a great river along with all the nature and wildlife it includes.

The passport was so simple to use. It was my first time fly fishing on a river so probably made plenty of mistakes hence the zero catch but throughly enjoy the tranquility of a beautiful river directions we’re very simple to follow
I will be going again
Many thanks

Fished the beach on the float, meat and pellet. Morning and late afternoon for the barbel biggest to 7lb.
Chub all through the day a few around the 4lb great fun.
So nice to be able to drive to the pegs, makes a pleasant change.
