Fished for an hour before giving up and booking onto another beat close by. Access is very poor with most swims difficult to fish (I’m in my 30’s and don’t mind a challenge). Lots of litter strewn all over the bank - I spent my hour of fishing surrounded by a broken fishing brolly, plastic bags and discarded beer cans. The car park is a small lay-by off a busy road - On returning to my car I noticed I’d parked next to a pile of human faeces. All in all the least WUF beat I have ever fished, and seems a little cheeky to charge over £20 for the ‘pleasure’ of fishing it.

Just finished the evening, huge downpour, got soaked, stuck it out but to no avail. Beat looked promising and some doubles had been caught recently so will return. Very steep banks and tricky to negotiate, so not for everybody.

It’s been a long time since I was here last , very overgrown from what I remember. Beautiful stretch and had it all to ourselves!
Fish on the first cast which is always nice , and the rest were staggered through the day . River was up a bit and a nice colour, always a good sign . Weather not to bad either, usual pellet / feeder tactics . First proper barbel session of the season for my mum , cracking day !

Great day on a beatiful stretch of river, 15 barbel caught including 2 doubles, will certainly look to return in the near future

Only fished from 5-8am. Parking not obvious. Access to much of the stretch very limited. Some much is very overgrown and path maintenance is very poor over much of the stretch. All water is relatively, slow flowing so more suitable to bottom fishing. I was only interesting in trotting. One chub about 1.5lbs caught trotting, with sausage meat. I decided to book the adjacent Wyebank stretch for the rest of the day.
