Lovely beat and we had a beautiful day for it too. We elected to fish in the meadow section. We started off with a few Chub but in the afternoon managed to each catch some Barbel. All were stunning colours, fought well and went back well too. We really enjoyed our day and will definitely return to this beat. The bird life was amazing and the wild flower meadow was beautiful. Such a rare sight these days. Thanks W&UF.

6 Barbel, 6 Chub

Did not fish. No access to the stretch.

Fished home farm day before fish everywhere,Thomas wood was completely different 2 of us tried everything could not get a bite,soon as a ground bait feeder hit the water pike we’re smashing any fish around, tried float fishing and rolling single baits into shadows nothing, but we left early afternoon but I would of imagine it would of got better when the sun dropped definitely go back. I put it down to it being the hottest day of the year.

Caught and returned 1 Shad and 12 eels. The river was quite low.
Fished using ledgered and float fished luncheon meat.

The recent cold spell probably didn't help. Managed some nice chub between us up to 4 and half pounds. Just the one barbel but a really lovely fish at 10lb 12oz. Good signs for the health of the river when a quick scoop in the margins with my landing net resulted in a handful of tiny barbel! Some small stuff came to feeder fished maggot, small chub, dace and a solitary gudgeon!
