Fished the beach section of the lower end of the beat.
Very hard going.
Beautiful day with some cloud cover. Water looked pacey but was low.
Tried all methods and all baits but fish not feeding.
Lovely beat though and quite accessible. Will try again when conditions more favourable.

Disappointing day only one easy access to a swim with any depth of water and that was taken by another party. Lots of beautifil river but with no accesable swims to fish. Eventually found a swim that we could get to and even that was a bit of a challange to climb down. Not recommended for auld codgers !! 1 other was an eel

Better day today despite the warming up in temperature. Lost one other barbel and we were pleased with our efforts after yesterday's blank day. We chose the bottom end of the fishery today. 3 chub from the beach section under the shadow of Goodrich castle. Beautiful setting on a wonderful summer's day. Always enjoy the peace and quiet of this fishery. Will be back. Pellets presented with PVA mesh did the trick today.

2 Anglers today but sadly despite our best efforts we were fishless. River low and I guess in need of some much needed rain.
A few knocks during the morning was the best we could do.

Started late morning and left at 4 one chub around 3lb first cast then not another bite in 5hrs,river is very low and clear may have picked up late evening but prior engagement didn’t allow me to stay on.I am booked on tomorrow so hopefully better luck then.
