2 anglers fished. Water low as expected, little flow. All fish caught on meat, mostly trotting. Most fish 1lb to 1.5ln, two over 2lb, three over 3lb. Enjoyable day, but hard work in the conditions and heat.

Lovely little stretch of water. Very peaceful indeed . Conditions again we're not the best for this venue, river rising couldn't keep bottom even with 6 ounces. The track down to this venue in wet raining conditions unless you have a 4x4 don't try it as you will get stuck . It's very slippery. Once through the main gate drive to the bottom of the first field and walk the rest of the way.

Unfortunately didn’t fish today as car got stuck on track leading down to river. After several attempts by the AA and 6 hours later (Long story!) got dragged out by local farmer who was extremely helpful. He said that he had done this several times before. Yes it was wet but the track looked fine until you reached the bottom by which time (for me) it was too late! The description should say under no circumstances drive down the field when it’s wet! Park in the lay-by at the top and walk otherwise you won’t be able to get out.

2 nice chub and a barbel around 4lb - Swim on the left is easy to access had fish from both areas and lost a couple. Simple feeder set up - frenzied hemp and caster groundbait and hinders barbel bombs. Managed to get down to the bank and back up easily enough in a hatchback

River running very low and clear, tricky conditions during the day for barbel. But soon as that light dropped the barbel got on the feed, making for some great fishing. Lovely place to spend the day. The fish were in great condition from this area.

Pretty tough going today, but left happy after catching my first ever Barbel of 5.2lb. It was a very cold start to the day and water much clearer than when I fished here a couple of days ago. All the Chub were in the 3-4 ib bracket and all taken on trotted meat, including the barbel. Couldn't get anything on the feeder today. All fish caught between 1 to 3pm

Lovely beat, good access right to the river, though getting down the banks to the swims was a bit of a challenge for an oldun like me. Hope to come again when I get the opportunity.
