Extremely windy so ledgers corn, 4 carp approx 4-7lb. Very remote, scenic location just one dog walker in the distance. Hope to return to surface fish.

Water low and gin clear, the few fish were too easily spooked for my humble effort.

Kite, buzzards, kingfishers and barbel

Lovely day spent at the lower end of the beat. Willow run and island swims produced fish, all on pellet. All in beautiful condition. Looking forward to coming back. Thanks WUF!

This was a short 4 hour session and I took my brother in law who has Parkinson's so hoping for some safe swims to fish which is just what we found. Just to the right of where you can park the car there is a concrete ramp down to a long concrete pontoon about 4 swims long. The river had great even flow and limited canoe traffic. No bites for 1st hour. Moved down stream to another safe section which was a gravel bank with loads of open swims available. This is a big space of water so slightly daunting trying to locate fish. Again no bites. For the last hour we went back to the original swim and fished the deeper inside line 2 rod lengths out. 2 Barbel in the last hour. 7LB and 8LB, both in fantastic condition. I suspect a dusk fishing session in this spot would be excellent. I walked further upstream looking for other swims but these are few and far between plus the flow is rather slow.

I'm a novice so pls bear with me. Caught one grayling on a PTN . Not much was rising. Had one or two decent rises but generally not much happening. There was a more experienced angler there and even he was struggling.
Beautiful place. Fish caught at head of "Lady Alexanders"

The river was low and dropping after a small rise. Weather was warm and nicely overcast for most of the day. One salmon caught on Colemans on a shrimp pattern. Cock fish around 13lb.

Fishing patchy , some swims produced quite well others seemed fishless.
