Hard work but a great day. River was a great colour but so so low. Could see the bottom about half way across in a swim we've fished a few times before. We fished from 11:00 to 21:00 and the barbel came late in the session. Best was just under 7lb.
Some of the swims are quite overgrown but still accessible. Might be an idea to take a billhook in case some space is needed.

Disappointing day river looked good with some colour despite recent hot days. Fished to the right of car parking area. Two barbel 7.5lb and 5.25lb. One chub around 4lb.

Great to be back on this fabulous river once again but it was a really hard day to be honest. We located the 4 swims upstream of the parking area but they just didn't seem right in the conditions

Another stonkingly hot day but managed 4 barbel 6lbs to 8lbs and 8 chub up to 3.5lbs. A switch to meat produced numerous eels up to about 2lbs.

An attractive stretch and given the extreme heat we were happy to land 6 barbel between 6.5lbs and 5 chub between 2.5lbs and 3lbs plus a small eel. All fish fell to small halibut pellet. The directions were excellent and it was good to be able to park so close to the river. We were confused by the "double bank" as we could not see how to get to the far bank and in any event we couldn't identify any fishable swims. Having walked the majority of the beat it appeared that the only sensible swims were upstream of the parking area and as such we were pleased to be the only two rods booked on the beat.

Very hot still day, not ideal conditions for anglers or fish. Scenery still fantastic
Pellet and feeder tactics
