Fished Beat 2 for around 3 hours in the morning 10am -1pm. River low and clear. Used pellet and feeder, luncheon Meat, sweetcorn and maggot. Between two angler we had one bite on a spicy sausage pellet but no fish landed.

River was low and clear, and condition were tricky. Both fish came late afternoon to pellet and feeder. Fish easily spooked one fish from a swim then nothing. Kept moving through the day to find the fish and ended up with one each. Lovely stretch of river for a walk.

Lovely day on the river with temperatures starting to turn more autumnal. Three barbel caught between 6 - 9lbs on meat.

2 Chub caught on pellets with a feeder, both were a good size one at 4lbs and the other just under 5lbs.

Slightly colder air & water temperature with quite a brisk breeze today , whipping up a few waves on the water. Sunshine & very clear water all made things difficult . When the wind dropped at about 5pm we had a few bites with one decent barbel of about 9-10lbs.
An extended lunch break was called for & what a beautiful place to have it. Swans were in good form with regular RAF style fly pasts, Kingfishers busy in the sheltered 'backs' & still a flock of Sand martins doing the circuit. There was a good hatch 5pmish when the wind dropped & even a couple of trout rising. We saw a cormorant very,very high up suddenly go into a 'stoop'-type dive, twisting & turning as he fell, down to the far bend in the river; I didn't know they could enjoy themselves...they always seem to be slowly flapping from A to B looking rather depressed.
Good day all round despite the lack of bites early on. If I had a memory I would have remembered the strand of barbed wire stretched across the top of the exit gate; Difficult to see in the dark & things do bleed as you get older.
Thanks all once again for these opportunities.

River low and clear. Wide range of baits tried on feeder but did not get a knock. Lovely spot to spend an afternoon and there were always the cows for company

River low and clear, blustery day of sunshine and showers. Lots to go at on these beats, beautiful countryside
