Enjoyed a lovely day at this beat. After a promising start using the klink and dink the activity was low during noon. At the end of the day fish were active again.

Hot and sunny conditions. Stunning setting and landscape. Varied water types through the beat though swim access is very limited. No fish on this day.

Bright and clear again. P and K fished this beat today with P opting to try some float fishing from the first croy downstream of the hut. He started with sweetcorn but couldn't buy a bite so switched to 8mm banded pellet. This did the trick and P finished with 8 Chub and a small Barbel, K fished the feeder all day but unfortunately blanked.

Arrived 7.30 A.M. A and son J went round the bend ? and I settled on the croy I'd fished yesterday, I caught 3 small Chub fairly quickly then as before once the sun got up bites stopped. I took a walk to see A and J and the lad was again showing dad up with a couple of Barbel and some Chub, again bites increased once the sun got lower and J finished with 3 Barbel to 7lbs and 16 Chub A failed to get a Barbel but had 12 Chub to 4lbs, I added another 6 Chub to 3lbs from the croy.It was nice to meet Colin the bailiff who gave us a few tips whilst strimming the swims, this beat is easily the best I've fished for ease of access and is maintained in excellent condition.Method used today as yesterday, groundbait feeder with various pellet hookbaits up to 11mm.

Fished on far bank and caught chub to 4lb, all fish caught on boiles/pellets. River was low and clear.

12 Chub

Very poor day. Weather conditions very sunny and hot. No visible fish moving. Fished from 8am til 5pm. Method spinning. No fish taken.

A Very tough day fishing. Wandered all over the beat and fished hard. The weather and moon phase made it obvious that this was going to be the case.
Saw plenty of king fishers, signs of an otter and beautiful surroundings as usual.
