Fished the afternoon with river was running reasonably well given the recent dry spell, although very few rises to be seen. Access currently gets more challenging moving upstream beyond the half way point. There are several fallen trees or significant timber debris "strainers" needing to be negotiated from the beat start, although they are providing fry with cover and habitat and there are still plenty of opportunities to cast a fly. Managed to find fish in deeper fast water at head or tail of runs. Landed 4 feisty trout between 15 and 25cm and lost around twice as many mainly on a stonefly nymph. Saw plenty of fry in the shallows.

Caught on orange eggs in morning and green in afternoon. Tried spinning with no luck. Water has significantly dropped.

This was a really hot morning session. We landed 2 eels and a chub at the lower section wher you park.

3 Other, 1 Chub

Very low water very hot no bites or fish. Every cast throughout the day just fed the crayfish.

All barbel caught on pellets apart from one on meat. 2 eels on pellet, they seem to be making a comeback. Nice to watch the little egret fishing opposite us for most of the day.

Fished this beat a few times, and it’s a stunner. Much better access under the current ownership! As expected conditions were difficult. The river was low and clear, with little flow. We managed 1 stunning Barbel of 9lb 4oz and a big Chub. On the whole a great day.
