River low but nice flow.

1 Barbel

Only fished for 3 hours in the evening to avoid the canoe circus. Two small barbel - one very small indeed at about 10oz - and a decent chub.

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished just below "Lucky Pool" and regularly caught chub throughout the day. The Barbel switched on early evening, it was then one every cast. Access to the pool is not easy, leave your chair behind as you'll be stood in the water or sat on a rock so you may wish to take an unhooking mat to sit on, although its easy enough to unhook the fish in the water. Stayed at Bowens B&B opposite the church in the village.

9 Barbel, 12 Chub

Difficult day with low water. Afternoon saw sedge hatching, finally got one on a Czech nymph then one on small sedge, both small brownies about 8 inches.

2 Trout

Ledgered pellet, conditions ideal.

3 Barbel

Dry fly. Was there from 11 to 3pm and only saw one rise. Didn't catch any fish or get a take for that matter.
Lovely stretch of river although almost impossible to access banks in wooded areas which is a pity as these might have been promising.
Great booking service, thank you.

I was disappointed to find this beat so overgrown that it is almost unfishable at this time of year. Some of the bank is 3 to 4 feet high & therefore you can't access the river from these banks. The rest of the bank has been allowed to become overgrown. I could only find one point where I could access the river. There are many obstructions on the river so it was almost impassable. Not a beat that is worth fishing at this time of year.
