16 chub up to 4lb on meat and pellets from beats 3, 4 and 5.

What a remarkable stretch to fish, inclusive of two storey accommodation (some fishing hut )I also managed a sixteen pound pike which was still in summer condition, took a pike shaped plug immediately after hitting the surface on around the tenth cast just downstream of the lodge, wonderful condition beautiful markings. A truly great place to fish definitely be back soon.

I fished Saturday and Sunday and caught 25 chub from 2lb to 4lb 4oz, also 3 Barbel 5lb 14, 6lb 10, and 8lb 10. All were caught on pellet from beats 3, 4, and 5. I had an excellent trip it was well worth the 4 hour drive. I met Ian at first light to show me around and he also gave me some tips. Looking forward to the next time.

As expected arrived to find the river well up and coloured managed to find a slack section out of the main pull and debris, feeding and fishing h/pellet really tight under the near bank. I went on to take 6 chub & 3 barbel, all in superb condition. Thanks yet again to all at w&u.

Weather grey and misty. River up and running fast. Usual pegs not really fishable as there was a lot of debris, in particular leaves and branches, in the water. Nevertheless we managed to get 15 chub (up to 4.5lb) and one very nice dace! Hard work but enjoyable. Our thanks to Ian, the Care Taker, who was welcoming and helpful.

Another fabulous day at Whitney Court. River well up but peaking in mid-afternoon. More than 20 chub to about 5.5lb and two really good barbel, all on paste bait, touch legering. The biggest barbel had a growth on it's head that looked like a pellet - should we be concerned?

I had a lovely catching loads of good chub and a couple of barbel on paste baits.

Lots and chub and a couple of barbel on paste bait and pellet. Great fun.

A lovely sunny day with the river in good condition if a little dirty after the recent rain. Another enjoyable day landing 4 chub up to 5.5lb all caught on luncheon meat.

Met Ian at the Boat Inn as arranged, started fishing on beat 3 - river was steaming through. Difficult to hold bottom so we moved to beat 5, my son had 3 chub from 2 to 4lbs I had one 3lb - no barbel. Great day many thanks to Ian for his help.
