Lovely looking stretch in great surroundings. Shame the fish were hard to come by. Due to heavy rain we were unable to move around as much as we would like to.

The hill at the start and long walk is very hard. Fortunately we were both fit and able otherwise this would be impossible to access.

Fishing passport should be more transparent with this in the description.

Didn't even attempt to fish. The banks were slippery the day before in the dry so in the heavy rain they would be treacherous. Therefore, I opted for a leisurely breakfast in the B&B instead!

Parked at the top and walked this time as last time got the car stuck. It was really useful to see the video of the swims and access. Not a long stretch and 3/4 swims accessible. First swim to the left didn’t produce on the feeder so switched to the middle swim and caught 6 chub to 3lb trotting meat and feeding pellets so a good day on a nice stretch. It rained a bit and steps down to swims got quite slippery so had to tread carefully. Would benefit from some stones or wood to make them more permanent.

As per MA from Cheshire 7/10/23 we decided not to (couldn't fish) as the bottom half of the beat was inaccessible as water levels had restricted access and those areas that may have been a possibility for a brave person just didn't look safe as bank and path to beat was very slippy / dangerous and with the weather as it was , a rising river and the forecast to be we took the sensible and safe option of not fishing which was a real shame (is this a wash off? I appreciate it wasn't totally flooded but sense prevailed on this occasion).

River had fined down from previous day and looked much more promising. We both fished the forested section, no bites until midday when one of the two swims switched on. Halibut pellets over hemp was the successful combination.

A tough day on the beat, up and hard to hold with 5oz in the flow. Managed some chub but no barbel, a great day though and a great beat.
