Lovely beat. We only fished for a few hours in the afternoon. Teaching my wife and daughter how to cast! Saw several rises and I think we would have had a successful day if we had focused on fishing (catching!).

We will definitely return.

A bright sunny day. Loads of very gentle rises all day, no idea what to. Despite covering loads of rises very difficult to get a take. Tried various dries as well as spiders but never cracked the code. Only managed one on the dry fly before I resorted to fishing a nymph. Best fish of the day came late on to a big bushy emerger fishing the duo. A lovely 14” fish that took the emerger not the nymph.

Bright and warm. Plenty of boats until around 3 o’clock and swimmers and dogs at the upstream end of the beat.
Fished the bottom two thirds starting at the wharf. No bites there or at the next croy. Bites came at the lower limit but no barbel in evidence.

Had this entire beat to myself today so tried to fish as much as possible. River still holding a bit of extra water and a nice colour . Very hot today ! Which I thought my hinder my chances ,but not at all . Trotting out the question so Feeder / pellet was the method . Fish from the first cast , lots of action ! Lots of lost fish to . Biggest chub 5lb , all barbel around 7/8lb and 5 eels one which was huge ! All caught in the blistering heat ! Great day .
