With the water Tempratue at 2.5c and ice in the fringes I new it was going to be hard going and so it was. Not a bite all day.

River still very swollen after recent heavy rain - intimidating when you are used to small rivers. Hard frost, overnight snow and temperature didn't get above 3 degrees all day. Fished luncheon meat on the bottom in hope of tempting a barbel but no luck. Beautiful day and location though. Definitely worth taking binoculars as plenty of wildlife and birds to watch while fishing.

Nothing caught

3 chub and 1 eel all caught on meat,river low and clear.

4 Chub, 1 Other

I love this section of river and the view at the bottom of the stretch is stunning. Unfortunately, the fish were not playing ball on this occasion and despite fishing a few different swims the day ended up as a blank. Fantastic place though and will be back. Thanks W&UF.

Nice venue and good access to river which looked fine, fast but not too high. Weather was bright with a strong wind from lunchtime. Parked up in second parking area after talking to Game keeper / Owner who said it was not fishing well the day before due to Bright Sunshine.
I fished a steady glide below the parking, current was faster than it looked and 60g feeder did not hold bottom, 75g ledger did also tried float trotting (at speed), few bites on ledger but only managed some Gudgeon . I should have moved down stream to slower water and not settled in one spot - my bad.
Great views of a family of Red Kites which were around most of the day.

Lovely day on this beat, fishing started well first thing in the morning with the river running though at a reasonable pace so 2oz leads were required to hold the bottom. Once the sun came up the fishing became much more difficult but not complaining as it was nice and warm for a change! As is usually reported the times to fish were the first couple of hours in the morning and the last couple in the evening. Barbel to 8lb and chub to 3lb, all fighting fit and fin perfect, they really do test your tackle to the max. Definitely recommend this beat as fishing is good and the river and surrounding area is stunning

6 Barbel, 3 Chub
