River in good condition, good flow. Slow start, initially fished bottom end boundary area with no luck. Moved to bottom field gate area and had 3 barbel from late morning, moved again in the afternoon to the upstream section after Foy Bridge and had another 3. All fish caught on ledgered pellet/PVA bag method.

A blanked session, a couple of fish lost early on however.

Overcast and mild conditions.heavy rain making conditions under foot treacherous from 5pm.Many swims that i remember and caught barbel from in 2014 completely inaccessible due to bramble,nettle and himalayan balsam !! Many snags at meadow end now taking care of my end tackle. Very few bites at all on pellet/ pva bag/feeder also tried trundling with meat and trotting various swims. Disappointed with outcome on second visit. Take great care in some of these swims.one 2lbs eel meat late on.

Excellent day with fish taking flies off the surface all day, even during rain and high winds in the afternoon.

Started near parking area in turbulent water. Lots of dace of bolo float. Moved at lunch upstream to slower glide and started on ground bait feeder. Had to wait till late in session when the barbel started feeding. Had four to 10lb. Another enjoyable day

7 barbel to 9.4 and 1 chub of 3 all on pellet-all caught during the evening session, which compensated for the very quiet earlier periods.

7 Barbel, 1 Chub

A lovely beat, with clear directions and a good parking spot within easy walking distance to the river. Water level and flow good for short line nymphing, but only caught one - the rest came to dry (#18 black gnat). As with most other returns, I will be back.
