we enjoyed our day on this beat good access not many swims in middle section but this could be difficult any way as opposite bank is heavily fished with a lot of swims ,so fished swims down to the pumping station i blanked but N F had seven barbel including two doubles 10lb 6 and 11lb 2 and one chubb all on pellet .river looked much better after good flush through would definitely fish this beat again .

Fished by the downstream car park but struggled due to large numbers of canoes( at least 200) I wish I could report that they were considerate but many were ignorant and caused endless problems. Also had a number of swimmers go through!!! Had 1 barbel here before moving to the swims half way down the venue where we had 5 barbel in the last hour between 6-8lbs. Nice venue but a little work to open up swims would make it even better.

Nice day out, river fining down after floods. Only had 2 barbel including one first cast though the second was a decent 10lb 6oz. Several missed bites late on from chub most likely. Caught on pellet but maybe should have used meat also

Water was about 8 feet up and very coloured, so difficult to comment on the character of this beat as all features were hidden.
However, dropping into a nearside slack right beside the first parking spot, I had six big barbel, the two biggest I weighed at 9lb 14oz and 10lb 12oz. Excellent days fishing, surroundings and access first class. Would love to see this beat with a bit less water on.

River very high, in flood and steaming through like a train. Lots of weed and general debris being washed down river making fishing very hard. Rain persisted from 0930 all day. All in all happy with two barbel, given the conditions.
