Overcast most of the day and low water level
A fair hike to the river from the parking area and then very few fishable swims without a major trek with full gear - the lucky stone end of the beat is only really an option for the young , agile and very fit ! Lucky stone itself is actually easier to fish from the opposite bank which is apparently on the Hereford Angling ticket (and anglers were casting across to ‘our side’ all day!
Overall a rather underwhelming day with the only sport (apart from eels) on free lined meat

only fished this beat in the winter when everything is a bit wet and slippery- and a trip to the stones and back is a bit of a suicide mission...a bit of an easier scramble this time of year. Plenty of barbel feeding early morning - had 6 before 7am - all on 15mm pellet. when your arm needs a rest, stick on some meat and you get chub instead. more like a quarry than a river bed - with lots of square sharp edged boulders to snag or cut you off. Really disappointed to catch several fish dragging yards of line around with them...braided hooks lengths...and all with barbed hooks. if you're going to fishy these types of snaggy areas you need to think about line and rig choices. yes i lost half a dozen fish in the rocks - but i only left em with a 4 inch hooklength and a size 12 barbless hook - not yards of tackle.

19.7 degree water temperature and a cool start were promising despite the clear skies. Made the trek down to the lucky stones and started fishing up into the fast water whilst fishing the float line with hemp and meat. Just three chub on bomb and bag in the first two hours so swapped to the float. 16 chub and a harem scarem 9lb foul hooked Barbel followed. Swapped back to the bomb and added two chub and an 8.11 barbel for a cracking day's fishing.
