River was still high and fast. Had to use heavy feeders. However we enjoyed the peace and quite, also noted that the swims had been strimed out which made our life easier.

A difficult day on a new stretch for us involving a lot of walking some of it uphill. On arrival we met a river that had risen 2 or 3 feet overnight, so the trotting rods and centerpin stayed in the car. We walked the whole length without our gear and only found a few fishable spots. We settled on some swims at the end of the first field below the wood and managed to catch 2 barbel each to 7lb 10oz.

Some very small fish attacked the fly from below and knocked it out of the way. A very hot and sweaty day for no result but good fun all the same. Fishing with small Klinkhammer.

This beat was a must for me as I'd heard such good reviews, this was the first session of my trip and it didn't disappoint. Stunning backdrop to the left downstream! Not far to the river from the car park with good access to the bank and plenty of swims. Not much was happening in the morning but by midday things picked up. Unfortunately I had to leave to check into my accommodation mid afternoon, missing out on some good fishing. The biggest fish was 8lb. I'll definitely be back here this year to have a full days fishing. Great venue!
