Had 3 carp off the surface with dog biscuits, a very enjoyable day in lovely surroundings. Will definitely be coming back!

River on its uppers with no fish showing along the entire beat over a 5 hour period, despite abundant spinners and larger. Deep pools refused to give up anything! Another blank. Still, an excellent morning, worth the return trip when the rain finally comes.

Very disappointing to pay £45 each for the 3 of us
when there is 7 fisherman on the opposite bank paying a fraction of the price and fishing the best swims. Won't be paying that again. 3 barbell, 2 chub on pellet.

A few small trout rising giving a fun few hours, but nothing caught.

Found it tough today, river very low and many pools pretty static now. Managed to hook and land 3 (all about 8"), all from the fastest water at the head of the pools. Of course saw many trout scooting for cover, however invisible I tried to be! Lovely day though.

Water low and v. clear. A couple of small trout, one to GHE goldhead and one that rose to an Adams. Still one or two mayfly around but fish not interested and I only saw one other rise. A large fallen willow has totally blocked the stream about 100 yards above the bridge.

With the gauge at 1 foot with a little colour, thought it was worth a go, no fish caught or seen. But a nice evening none the less. Couldn't fish the bridge as a canoe was in the pool. Couldn't be bothered to say anything, but annoying when you have travelled nearly 50 miles to fish.

I opened the account with a 2-3lb chub. Then at 8:30, a big slack line from the same area I caught from the previous day pre baited area. The Barbel charged off downstream like a rocket, played it for a bit, then the 10lb hooklink snapped :(....caught a few more chub, then at 14:30, from the same area, landed a 9lb 3oz Barbel. Then the chub went nuts, several 2-4lb fish most casts (casting all over the swim!) for about 2 hours. I fished using a large feeder, hemp+hali mix, 2-3ft hooklink (braid is better for wear and tear), small hair-rigged single pellet hookbait with size 14 barbless hook :)
