Great vehicle access, it is suited better for trout and salmon with shallow runs and deep pools holding salmon which pushed out the coarse fish. One swim was excellent which produced all the fish luckily for me. And no one else in the party caught fish.

Almost exactly 1 year ago I fished this beat in torrential rain and the river rising rapidly, what a difference a year makes!! Blimey it was HOT.
Arrived at beat about 4:30 am after 5 hour drive and a couple of hours kip in a service station car park. Fished the gravel bar at the bottom of beat 4 and the pool following at the top of beat 5. Started fishing about 5.30 good chub first cast followed by 3 more Chub and a Barbel (5lb 8oz)by 10am. (Also lost 1 chub and a Barbel) All fish fell to pellet apart from the biggest chub (4lb 3oz) which fell to rolling meat. After the sun got up the water died. Walked the length of beat 5 trying various swims without success. Back to beat 3 in the afternoon which is faster water, plenty of Salmon showing but no joy. Back to the gravel bar for the evening but the extreme heat and low water conditions had put paid to anymore action.
Lovely beat in the right conditions but yesterday was just extreme.

Fished 4am till 11, then too hot, fish for most part covered in lice and quite slimey, perhaps late spawning?
