Disappointing results on what looked like a nice piece of water. The problem was, there are few obvious looking spots, the river is very big ( 60 to 80 yards wide ) but it is all 1 to 3 feet deep all over. The bed is all made up of football sized rocks so the surface is all bumpy and fast flowing. I don't recomend parking at bottom of beat because you have a 1/2 mile difficult walk to get to any fish able water ! The fish I did catch were also very small.

Three fishing. Pretty hard going. 1 angler had almost all of the fish from the upstream swim.
Watch out for the goat!

Great looking venue but hard fishing despite good conditions. All but 1 barbel caught by 1 person at the top of the beat.
PS - the big goat looks terrifying but pretty harmless

Fished either end of the beat, lots of modest sized Chub but Barbel were elusive. Chub were hitting the bait within seconds of the feeder going in. Nice stretch and a good workout getting to the bottom end! Could do with a few more swims though as I didn't feel there were many options with 3 anglers booked on. Pleasant day though.

River down to a metre but still with a bit of colour. Water temp just shy of 14 and weather overcast and mild. Barbel 2 to 7lb plus caught mostly on hemp and pellet feeder and pellet hookbaits. Not all caught barbel but a lovely day on a lovely venue.
