Just the one pike 10lb 2oz. No luck with barbel or chub. We both felt description of lower beat was poor.

1 Pike

Three barbel, 7lb 8oz,, 5lb 10z and 4lb 8oz. Two chub 5lb 1oz and 4lb from nice swim in middle of stretch. Thanks Colin for a nice chat. Lost another nice barbel on last cast.

Easy on line booking. Good directions to beat however there is NO WUF sign in the parking area. Where the directions say there is a sharp right hand bend this road goes to Eaton Bishop you take the road that says NO THROUGH ROAD then park through the gate on the hardstanding next to a building, after about 10 yards. The farmers mobile number is on a board where you park and its well worth the fiver it is a long walk.

River in good condition, slow fishing though. I caught the chub on chilli flavour L/meat opposite the weir garden on the wall peg. I caught the barbel in the faster water further up the beat on halibut pellet and feeder.

Fantastic location will definitely be back. Thanks WUF.

Tried floating worm and spinner with no luck.

Caught two trout, one with silver mepps no2 and the other ledgering with a floating worm. Was a hard day and after speaking to the locals we were told we were not in the right place (first time there). Will give it another go sometime, really nice setting and well kept.

2 Trout

River on 1 foot 4 and dropping. No salmon seen or caught but caught two nice trout - one was 2 pounds and the other around the pound mark. Both fish returned.

2 Trout

Conditions looked good but not action or sight of Salmon.
Plenty of rising fish so upstream nymph & wet fly was fun for hour or so. Interestingly trout in excellent condition were the main action - clearly no one has told them the season is over.
Excellent clearance of fallen trees many thanks to WUF, this is now a full beat again rather than a lower section and a jungle expedition. A good day.

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

Whitney Court, 1 cock fish about 13lb to a syndicate rod on a cascade. Perfect conditions with several fish showing but very hard to tempt. Pity that so few rods are out.

1 Salmon

River conditions good apart from excess of leaves coming through. Fished at the Manordielo beat using various flies.
No fish seen except for small trout/parr.

Fished on a falling coloured river I think another 24 hours would have be spot on.

Managed a 7.5lb barbel from the first swim over the bridge, another smaller fish taken from the next peg down stream.
Spent some time trotting a stick float for a mixed bag including some good dace and small chub. A pleasant day.
