Started by the hut with every intention of moving around to the wood in the afternoon, but in the end caught regularly enough to stay put. 3 Barbel (including a fantastic looking "fingerling" of about 4oz) and 2 Chub in the morning. Then a quiet period. Baited and rested the swim and went for a natter with another angler, started again at about 3:30pm and caught 4 Barbel in the next hour or so. Evening was a bit disappointing with only 1 more Barbel (which was the biggest of the day at exactly 9lb) and 2 Pike (both on pellet). Most of the fish were caught on pellet, with a couple on sweetcorn.
Another great day, with 7 of the Barbel being over 6lbs, thanks WUF

Wonderful day for fishing with cloud cover most of the day. Started off below the wood for 3 chub around 3-4lbs. but was bringing more weed than fish & so moved up above the hut for the afternoon & found a few barbel to 7lbs. Very pleasant afternoon with the occasional company of a gentleman who had made the journey down from Suffolk; When we weren't talking he was catching Barbel...an experienced angler by comparison!

A long days fishing started very well with two barbel being caught within half an hour of being at the venue. Weed coming down a dropping river hampered us for most of the day. Various swims were visited but the best sport was at the start of the beat. Most fish were caught by one angler with feeder and large pellet. Lovely place, good access for everyone.

This was my second visit to this beat , great venue ! Bright and sunny today and the river was just how you want it , flowing nicely and a bit of colour. All barbel were caught off the bottom , but the best catches were the chub whilst trotting , 3 of which were over 4lb , there is no better way to catch chub , some nice dace thrown in there to , fished from 1pm till 8:30pm , evening time providing the best sport.
Brilliant day !
