Lovely lower stretch, low water so was a bit harder going. Will return.

With the river low and the temperatures nearing 30 degrees for the start of September we concentrated on fishing early morning and late evening. Some good barbel to 7lb although the fish tended to come in short bursts.

Very hot weather.
Amazing setting drive right up in 4x4s no issue.
Fishing was like watching west ham united full of hope but a little crap.
Probably barbel there for the better fisherman!

THE BAD NEWS IS AS OTHER ANGLERS HAVE REPORTED LACK OF SWIMS. THE CONCRETE APRON IS THE ONLY REAL SWIM BUT WE ENCOUNTED 2 OTHER ANGLERS ON THE OPP SIDE WHO HAD BEEN THERE ALL NIGHT AND DID NOT WANT US TO FISH OPPOSITE THEM ?????? ALSO THE COWS HAVE MADE THE ROAD IN AND OUT VERY SLIPPERY ,JUST MANAGED TO GET OUT. WILL CROSS THIS ONE OFF OUR LIST

River still high (covering large areas of shingle normally exposed during the summer) and coloured. Trotting with a centre pin all day - only fished the streamier swims at the bottom of the beat (below the croy). Sausage meat and luncheon meat bait. First fish turned out to the largest of the day - 4lbs. Sadly no barbel.

No work had been done on the parking area by the river - all overgrown. No really suitable for regular cars (especially if wet), only 4x4s.
