An attractive stretch of fishing but bank access very difficult in high summer because of dense growth. Fish free rising but missed several before a 3/4 lb fish hung on to the pheasant tail a little too long.

Could not locate barbel so switched to trotting pellet to avoid blank and landed 5 chub to 3lb. Went back to feeder for the last couple of hours with no success. Canoes are a major problem due to them being run into your swim. Two rigs picked up and snapped.

Another great days fishing. Caught on all the usual baits (pellets, boilies, meat etc) and from most swims. The barbel didn't show up until later in the day but this wasn't surprising with a bright day and very low and clear river conditions.

7 Barbel, 22 Chub

Very few accessible swims to choose from. River looked in good condition. Best barbel 7lb 10 oz, best chub 3lb 8oz. 4 eels caught biggest 2lb - all caught on pellet.

Fished lower beat, fish seemed to be very localised. Used blitz boilies with a feeder.

10 trout in great condition. Loads of splashy missed rises.
Beautiful stretch of upper river, water crystal clear and levels low. Very enjoyable evening.

Day 1. Fished upper beat,access to some swims hard but pre-baited pump station and two swims nearest style, fished from 7.30 am to 8.00pm using 2oz cage feeder packed with Elips ground bait and hemp, laced with elips pellets. Barbel ranged from 4lb to 61/2lb chub well spawned out.
