Nice stretch with good parking, bit of a walk but good access and banks. River was high so fished slack water close in. Caught an eel on spam, switched to source pellet, had a barbel (3pm) 9lb. Good result for 3 hrs fishing!

River was up all good but not many fish. One barbel one big chub good temp no rain?

Warm sunny day for the most part, but river high and coloured.

Hooked several grayling but couldn't get any to the net, did land 3 OOS trout though.

Yellow rain warning and rising river levels so I didn't travel and fish

River up and challenging. We thought with colour and height that the fishing would be slightly better.

The river was rising quickly. All fish taken from near side slack water.

Fished from about 1pm - overcast, mild, no wind. 2 chub on meat. Nice beat, good parking and easy access.

Rapidly rising river (easily over a metre) and prolonged rain throughout day, it was always going to be tough. Pace noticeably increased as did the volume of debris coming downstream, so very much confined to water close in, but even then, difficult to avoid the broil. Nothing under 5oz close to holding, so things were rather tricky. Eventually perseverance for one of us was finally rewarded with a Chub of about 2lbs, but that was it.
First time here. An impressive stretch with some good access. Will be keen to return in calmer, and less testing conditions.

Started the day fishing top and middle sections of the beat. 3 barbel caught fishing the crease line as the river began to rapidly rise. Soon the river was too high for this area so spent the afternoon exploring the lower end of the fishery. Amount of leaves and debris made life difficult but managed to find 2 more barbel through the afternoon including my first wye double. Worth taking a rope to access some swims though plenty of access to more comfortable swims if not carrying one.
