New pb 9lb 8oz, so a very happy man. All fish from the lower section.

Barbel were in one particular swim & an otter further upstream may have affected the fishing for 3 of us , but lovely to see nonetheless. Afternoon was slightly spoilt by a large helicopter circling around us & dropping rapidly right over our heads before scooting up the valley to come back around to do the same over & over again; Some sort of military training I guess, but did spoil the 'ambience' somewhat. Absolutely beautiful sunset as we left, reflected off the river.
Many thanks to Terry, the landowner &WUF.

After looking at all the swims I decided not to fish as they looked too steep and slippery to risk it.

I booked here after deciding not to fish Upper Breinton, and what a stunning fishery it is. I fished the lower section, which has stunning views looking both upstream and downstream.
The water depth here is very variable from very deep pools to fast shallows.
I failed to catch anything, but it didn’t matter as it was just a pleasure to be there. I did somehow manage to miss a 3 foot twitch!

Sunny day, quite calm. Fish looking up, with sedgehogs working best. Fly fished most of the south shore, water level was very low which helped with access. It really does pay to walk and fish here, this is a big water. Don't expect the fish to come to you! Rangers doing the rounds and checked permits. Mostly wild browns, but a nice rainbow too.

Think it was a Dace
No otter today but two cormorants…

Didn't manage to catch or get a bite of anything.

River continues to drop. Nice big swims but the fishing was hard. Mainly pellet and ground bait but one small chub on luncheon meat.
