River level about right some colour as well fish hard to come by were not playing the game but still enjoyed the day. Met Colin as well who gave us some useful tips.

Having persevered with the float for a few hours we eventually conceded there was a bit too much pace and colour. Moving to the feeder produced immediate results and we ended the day on 9 barbel to 7lbs and 2 chub.
As ever this is a very well looked after beat and has a great head of fish.

Really nice day on one of the best beats on the permit. Fishing conditions were almost perfect with a dropping river and overcast clouds. Fish were hard to come by until late afternoon when they seemed to switch on. Best barbel, 7.5lb and the best chub, 5lb.
Will be booking again for next year for sure.

River was about 4 foot down on previous day. Looked ideal but could only manage 4 chub all day. Moved further down from to the bend but same result. Nice weather, no rain.

River high and over the croys but dropped a foot or so during the day and happy to finish with 3 barbel.

River was high and fast. Fished around the cable crib swim between crease and slack water mainly to hold bottom with 4oz feeder. Overcast conditions with a little rain. 7lb barbel the best of 7 fish plus a couple of eels. All fish on maggot. Excellent stretch with easy access.

River running very fast and coloured. Caught 2 barbel and 6 chub, the conditions... weather was not ideal, i.e. raining on and off and windy, but we both still enjoyed the day.

River high but starting to drop. Lots of debris/weed coming downstream, should be perfect in the next couple of days. Fishing quite hard and had no bites for a couple of hours and then 2 fish in 2 casts, then another 2 fish just before I packed up. The last barbel of the day being the best at 8lb 15oz on meat.

River looked perfect, but we struggled in all the normal swims. Better luck next time....
