The fish weighing 8lb 10oz, 8lb 2oz and 5lb, were caught late afternoon at the top of the beat. Conditions were not ideal as it was very hot. All three fish were caught within an hour, but they were the only bites we had all day, apart from 3 eels.

DID NOT FISH. I was convinced I had booked Tues Thurs and Friday and did not bother to check. When Carl arrived on Thursday just as I had made my first cast I checked my emails and discovered my mistake. Carl was kind enough to allow me to remain as a spectator for most of the day, which was the next best thing to actually fishing.

Cooler day after recent hot weather and river in good condition. We fished the faster water in the bottom field and caught all our fish there. Best barbel was 9lb and fell to pellet. The upper stretch was tried but was unproductive due to low flow levels. In contrast to previous reports, we found the stretch easily following the instructions provided although there is no sign showing the anglers parking area.

Bright sunny day caught nil, limited fishing spots and spoilt with sticks etc being thrown for dogs in the water with no regard for fishermen, did not feel value for money at all, very disapointed in a beautiful setting.

Water coloured and a bit high, one total beginner who caught a salmon Parr, made his day !!!

Fished here on the previous Sunday when river was running fast, high and colored and struggled to catch. Had lost most of the color and slowed to a reasonable pace. Looked promising but fish fed very spasmodically. Highlight was a superb 10lb 7oz fish which my friend photographed for me. Unfortunately he cut off my head in the picture so it could be anybody holding the fish. Will have to catch it again next year.
