River was up at 3.7m on the Mordiford gauge, and very slowly dropping, but the stretch is easily fished at this depth as you can fish straight from the fields. Float fished deadbaits for the day but sadly no Pike, I'll be back before the end of the season for another crack though.

Challenging day, torrential rain most the day, was hoping the warm rain would turn the barbel on… but sadly not…
Still delighted with 4 beautiful chub on meat and pellet. Levels were awkward, only a few swims I could safely fish … if the river was higher, or lower, would have had more options.

A hard day, probably due to the fact it was minus four when we arrived. That said, with the river in good order and falling slowly we hoped the Chub might show at least - we rotated the usual swims but with no interest. Having settled into a nice looking swim for the last couple of hours MP saved the day with a late Chub of around four pounds. A beautiful place to be whatever the outcome. Note: The swim beneath the trees just downstream of the croy has a feeder and a significant amount of line hanging in it (not ours) which partly inhibits casting here. It is still fishable but take care and look up!.

Nice stretch with good parking, bit of a walk but good access and banks. River was high so fished slack water close in. Caught an eel on spam, switched to source pellet, had a barbel (3pm) 9lb. Good result for 3 hrs fishing!
1 Barbel, 1 Other

Started the day fishing top and middle sections of the beat. 3 barbel caught fishing the crease line as the river began to rapidly rise. Soon the river was too high for this area so spent the afternoon exploring the lower end of the fishery. Amount of leaves and debris made life difficult but managed to find 2 more barbel through the afternoon including my first wye double. Worth taking a rope to access some swims though plenty of access to more comfortable swims if not carrying one.
5 Barbel, 7 Chub
