First time river fishing for some fifteen years. Very impressed with the service and details provided by "the fishing passport". I will be booking again but sadly not this beat. Water level was good and on arrival there was some rises to be seen. Walked to the bottom of the beat and there the jungle training kicked in. I spent more time climbing over branches and negotiating the bank than fishing. That said, it is wild water and I think it's impossible for the land owner to keep on top of this growth. Just a fact of life but I would have liked a few access points. Caught two around 5 inches and hooked/missed many more so pleased with that aspect. Mainly using nymph such as hares ear and pheasant tail. Overall an enjoyable day.

Very hard to fish these banks. Needs a lot of work for access, very dangerous. Chub fishing is prolific but the barbel have disappeared

22 Chub

Caught one barbel 7-8 lbs and one eel both on meat.
Plagued by eels on meat so tried boilie and pellets later with no success. Fished the wooded area upstream of the car park and I could see some good work had been done. However after packing up I ventured downstream and walked as far as the hedge in the field. Very surprised that there were only around 3 swims that were fishable.

1 Barbel, 1 Other

2 barbel lost ????

Lovely day on a beautiful fishery. Some large chub caught nearly every cast in the morning, however had a sleep break around the afternoon and upon returning at 1700 couldn’t get even a feeder knock. Walked whole length of fishery to find a barbel but again was outwitted.
