Feedback & Reports

Bright day with gusty downstream wind. Water v low. Only second visit here so for newbies would add following to beat description. The lane to the beat is adjacent to the church, not opposite it. Access is definitely not suitable for anyone with any mobility issues (knees/hips etc) as from parking to river is v steep and narrow path and once there some of the swims are fished from slightly precarious stances. You will lose some gear and you need to embrace your inner canoeist. Really good day with fish spread out a bit. Also a v big eel, prob 3lbs. Picturesque, kingfishers and other wildlife. Will be back for sure.

River very low in places and limited bank access. would benefit from another 1 or 2 pegs to make it easier to get access to water. Agree with other comments to travel light as walk from car park is steep and could be slippery in wet weather. Barbel and chub showing in late afternoon/early evening. Double figure barbel and 2 pound chub. Both on pellet.

Very poor day. No flow. The barbel was in excellent condition, 8 pounds 7 ounces.

Really like this beat despite the tough conditions. Fished the upper section which was ideal in low water but might be a bit more tricky with more water on. Feeder tactics for the two of us between 2 and 7.30pm
