Nigh on impossible fishing conditions. River came up 1.2m in a day! Lots of debris (including what looked like whole trees) coming down the river made it hard to keep a line in the water. Weights, feeders and hooklinks covered in weed after 10 minutes or so. Bad timing sadly. I nicked a barbel after an hour and called it a day!

Will be back as it's a beautiful beat

River level increased further overnight. Fished down the bottom end of the beat, very pacy and plenty of weed coming through. Could only hold when ledgering on the near side margin. All 4 fish came from that line on pellet.

A complete change in conditions with river rising rapidly, although it did level out in the late evening. The large clumps of weed made it difficult and prevented holding position further out than the very inside line. However, not a complete write-off with 1 barbel of 8.13, 3 chub and 4 little others to show for our efforts.

Heavy showers-river level quite low and clear-couldn't entice barbel to feed but 4 good chub provided some consolation.

Low clouds and some long awaited rain coincided with our visit to the Creel and we arrived with some hope on this lovely venue.Fishing was steady all day and much to our delight we bagged a few hard fighting Barbel a couple of which were just over 9lb...Packing up at dusk we also had the pleasure to meet the owner of the beat who is a really nice accommodating fellow..Needless to say but we thanked him profoundly on behalf of all WUF anglers for allowing us to fish this fantastic beat and was a pleasing end to a great day..!!
