River low and clear, less canoe/kayak traffic than the previous day. Showery in the morning which made the banks very slippery, so I stuck to the swims that were easier to access. Meat and pellets on the hook and feeder. Bites were at the start and end of the day (4pm). Had to leave at 5pm to make the long trip home, otherwise would probably have nabbed more fish. Chub was around 4lb, had two barbel around the 6lb mark and the first barbel of the day was the biggest but I didn't weight it - I guessed 9lb ish at the time but the more I look at it I think it could have been a double. Lovely day.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

River low and clear. Loads of swim choice but this was Saturday so canoe and Kayak traffic was ridiculous, and some of them were complete clowns. I was told to F*** off twice when they wiped out my gear.

Could only fish a nearside line, managed 2 chub and the one time I hooked a barbel a kayak blazed over my line and cut me off. Clowns.

Still a beautiful, peaceful stretch but it needs some rain.

2 Chub

3 nice chub on ledger cheese. Small Dace on float. Just upstream of island.

3 Chub, 4 Other

Had a lovely day on this beat. Does get some bad press but we really like it and caught some decent fish in tricky conditions.

Arrived to see river levels up by around 8inces and a decent flow pushing through. Coloured but pushing through lots of weed, caught no stop weed. Made a move 12.30 to a different swim water levels eased off canoes dropped off then fish came on the feed. 7 Barbel all a good stamp up to and including a couple at 9lb. Only weed for 4hrs then Barbel moved onto the feed. Great way to end a weeks holiday. Packed up for the long drive home. All fish came to feeder krill and hemp with krill dumbells. 2 idiots on canoes that purposely when out of their way to try cutting the line near bank. All other canoes polite and friendly.

Water levels have returned to a low level with little flow, had a few bites didn't connect. Very slow. May of caught but I had double booked on another beat. Will be back as its a good beat.

Arrived after some recent rain full, a slight colour, touch of flow. Dropped just 1 swim. Fished feeder krill mix with hemp and various pellets with krill dumbells. Lots of bites couldn't hit them as weed engulfing hook. Persevered as I could tell these were Barbel takes. After a dozen casts to same spot weed was clearing. Lost 3 Barbel, caught 6 Barbel and 4 Chub. Thunder storm called play at 16.00hrs. Lots of canoes but Barbel keeped feeding. Happy days

6 Barbel, 3 Chub

0 fish. River level very low. Lots of silk weed. Fished from 6am until noon. No bites! Lots of canoes after 10am. This section needs some tlc as some swims are really overgrown and inaccessible.

No fish caught.. river full of silk weed and bottom very silted. Needs a good spell of rain
