This is a nice piece of river with easy access to alot of it. Walking is easy also. Usual methods to catch barbel once we found them, shame the bailiff never returned my call to him but all in all I would return here even though the river is very low. There's still an awful lot of water to go at.

Unfortunately nature got the upper hand today. It was very windy and rained all afternoon. The water was very low, especially on the lower section of the beat. This section was also extrememly difficult to wade, studded boots and a wading stick are an absolute must have. The top section has some amazing dry fly flats, but the cold weather did not allow for any hatches.
One highlight, was the visit of a rather big Otter, which I am sure scared away all the fish. A very peaceful surrounding and I can only image must be a fantastic days sport in the right conditions.

Having fished this stretch on the Tuesday we were not to keen to go back on the Thursday. Conditions very much the same with low clear water and little flow, just one bite and one Barbel of 8lb 8oz to show for a very hard days fishing.

Mag, feeder, small hook, river low, cloudy spells. JB silvers on the mag feeder. I blanked. Anglers on other bank (5). Nice walk up and down the hill with full kit.

A reasonably successful day despite the unfavourable conditions

River low, sunny spells, brisk wind/cloudy pm. Feeder, mag. Blank for me. JB Silvers. Nice walk up and down the hill with full kit. Five other anglers on other bank (2 salmon) back up the top end to fit in between gaps.

The river was low and clear, with little fly come off the water. Saw a few small fish in the deeper holes, but pretty quiet. A great place to pass a few hours.

Caught one good size trout of approximately 12 inches on a size 16 brown goldhead nymph. The river was very low and clear and not much was hatching.
