Both very small. Beat was a little disappointing due to low water but beautiful scenery.

Largest was 1.5lb and average of 0.75lb. Fantastic beat with a good hatch and great fishing. Will definitely return!

Top end of the beat is very pretty with great views of the weir gardens and excellent access, with the lower end proving a bit tricky to get to.
I lost a couple of fish to the large weedbeds they were hiding under, even on stepped up floodwater tackle but managed to land 5 Barbel and 7 Chub. All fish were taken on standard feeder tactics with hemp, mixed pellet and groundbait.

5 Barbel, 7 Chub

Only small trout caught (6-8 inch). Fished this beat a couple of hours, but will come back if there is more water.

Only fished this beat for 2 hours. Very nice river, but a little more water would have been nice.

Arrived late afternoon due to long drive up from north to find an angler on the end peg in wooded section near road who'd been there since first thing and was bagging up. Seems to be where the barbel live because we couldn't get a bite, only managing a barbel and an eel between 3 of us.

The river was low and very clear, the fish were very shy. Didn't see any decent size trout. Caught a few par, a small trout, 2 grayling on buzzer in the top pool. Lovely stretch of river, good access, parking, easy wading. Thanks.

I fly fished useing a dry fly and caught three good size brown trout which were all returned back to the reservoir. There is still an issue with the rubbish on site. If you could please resolve it as soon as possible it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Started on the float and centrrpin and had 3 nice chub to 4lb. After 45 minutes I decided to fish the feeder and after a few casts building up the swim I had my 1st barbel after 5 mins. I then caught steadily until mid day when the increase in boat traffic stopped the fish feeding for a while. They came back on the feed at 3pm and I fished until 8.30 when I ran out of bait. I've been fishing the rivers for the last 10 years and this is the best day I've ever had - 26 fish, 20 Barbel and 6 Chub and on Fathers Day too, brilliant fishing.

3 rods fished the lower section of the beat very lightly in the afternoon. River height ok but lower than expected. Occaisional Sedge, Large dark olive and Mayfly hatching but nothing consistent for the fish to latch onto. Some good fish seen in the shallower glides but very spookey. Beautiful section of river, will definitely fish this beat again. 1 BT 1Grayling caught on small bead head hare's ears.
