Tough day's fishing with very low water but still enjoyable

2 Barbel, 6 Chub

Very confused by your misleading information. Although the map of the reservoir shows the bank fishing locations, most of the bank near to the dam was extremely difficult to fish owing to :-
a) Too much weed
b) Waders would be needed to fish beyond the weed which was not made clear on the information sheet
c) Access to the fishing spots either side of the dam involved a jump down to the bank , which would have been impossible for an older man.
Also wish to add there was a dead rat next to the waters edge on the far side of the dam which made a very unpleasant smell as well as attracting flies. Maybe more inspections around the water's edge is needed.
I will not be returning.

Not easy to find access gate drove past 3 times, in good wheather getting car down to river is fine, but i would think long and hard if there had been any rain. The surroundings are fantastic and the world seems miles away it is so peaceful.

i knew it was a very short stretch and it says there are 5 swims but in my opinion there are only 3 swims and in the very low gin clear conditions 2 of these swims are unfishable outside of early morning or in the evening.

We did catch some nice chub on ledgered meat but patience was the order of the day. you need river conditions to be spot on

Low water levels and sunshine made for a tough day at the office. However, the Eel which weighed a good 1.5lb was a lovely fish.

Maybe its just me - but i thought access to the river was pretty tough and most of it wasnt accessible at all.
