We arrived hopeful as the river had risen to .75m overnight after a long spell at its lowest but it turned out to be a pretty tough day. We fished as many swims as we could throughout the full length of the beat with standard pellet approach. Access to the water is good and the beat is a nice flat walk along its length. We found campers fishing the lower meadow but after checking with w&u now understand that there is no agreement in place with the fishery owners to allow this so they should not prevent your access to this meadow

Similarly as hard as the day before. Weather didn't help but nothing we could do about that. Tried numerous swims throughout the stretch with a multitude of baits all to no avail. Two small Barbel both fell to sweetcorn.

River very low, very few fish seen even in the shallow water.

A tough day at the Creel. Barbel seemed not to be up for it today. My colleague did manage to find one but the river was unusually quiet with only the occasional chub making an appearance. A lovely day and will be back soon. Thank you for the addition of the steps to assist with access.

A very hard day on the creel today. Started in a known spot that my friend had some brilliant catches from a few weeks ago and couldn't get a bite. Ended up fishing further upstream and finally found the fish about 8pm. Had a steady hour between us towards the end of the session and we were pleased to end the evening with a few fish.
