A pleasant enough day, overcast with an intermittent breeze. Not a sausage! Hardly a rise all afternoon, I tried everything but to no avail. The resident Kingfisher patrolling it's stretch above the weir certainly isn't shy. I hope it had more success than me. Unusually the indoor chicken farm(?) was very smelly.

Lovely, pretty beat (my first time here) but blanked, unfortunately. French nymphed for most of the day and lost 3. Not a lot of insect life about but maybe that's usual as the season progresses around here. Would like to come back and try again.
Thanks WUF.

Beautiful spot easy to access, and plenty of swims to choose from. Most swims very pacey and you do have a private club fishing the opposite back, but they seem very friendly. Lots of good chub bites came all day from all the swims I fished. Just be warned, parking is very limited as you can't park in the middle car parking area due to the field full of cows so only 1 parking space at the bottom end of the beat.

Managed one barbel just over 8lb on what was a challenging day. Lovely stretch of river but I would challenge WUF when they state its a mile of fishing when in fact you will struggle to fish the vast majority of the stretch due to sheer drops into the water or totally overgrown and not accessible.

River running reasonably clear, 12" brown caught and returned using a large yellow bodied mayfly dry fly in the late afternoon although little surface activity seen all afternoon and into the early evening.

What a fantastic day, took my son fishing, he has been fishing only a couple of times, but today he started off with a lovely Barbel on the second cast. By the time my uncle and I were set up he had already caught 3 Barbel. I decided not to fish until after lunch and just enjoy some father and son time. I was Mr landing net.
In fact after my son had caught 13 Barbel, he asked, no pleaded with me to take over as he was shattered and his arm ached. I added another 12 Barbel, all on Pellet, some feeder and some ledger.
A Red Letter day, the river was falling and the scenery fabulous. A wonderful day, thank you WUF.
