River low and clear. Fished dawn till eleven then went for Siesta. Returned at three, baited and waited till five to fish. First chub was small, second chub 4lbs. Very little in the way of cover for barbel when water is low on this beat.

No fish caught - a couple of salmon seen. A lovely beat with some great fly fishing water. A few canoeists towards the middle of the day. It was a hot day and not ideal fishing conditions. The river was slightly dirty to start with but dropped and cleared as the they went on. A good day was had even though we didn't catch.

River level still low and clear, lots of loose weed from up stream. Fished from 6am till 8:30pm, same swim, same tactics, same baits. Had 3 barbel weighing 4lb 8oz, 2-3lb and 6lb. 3 chub weighing 3lb, 3lb 8oz, 2-3lb and lost 1 fish. Illegal fishing at lugs mouth again on both sides of the river. Gateway to field is dangerous! Do not try to drive on track around field if wet, deep tracks fill up but ok when dry. I drove a Renault scenic with no problem. All in all a beautiful beat and excellent fishing.

River level low and clear with good pace. Fished from 8am till 9pm, had 9 barbel weighing 6lb 4oz, 5lb 2oz , 4lb 2oz, 6lb 2oz, 7lb 8oz, 5lb 6oz, 2-3lb, 5lb 8oz, 6lb 8oz and 5 chub weighing 4lb 8oz, 4lb , 4lb 8oz, 3lb 5oz, 4lb 3oz. Lost 4 fish due to fishing close to weed and sunken snags. All caught on cage feeder setup with halibut marine pellet or pepperarmi. Some illegal fishing at lugs mouth on bend but John the gillie had a word and they left. Several canoeists all well behaved. All in all a beautiful beat and excellent fishing.

Sunny day with patchy high cloud, river at good height following rain earlier in the week but with colour hiding the streamer weed. Chub caught on sweetcorn, switched to pellet and had a barbel at the end. Didnt fish all day. Great to meet Tony the ghillie, a lovely man with lots of useful info.

Sudden rains over previous day or so had considerably swollen river level - very muddy and fast - fished from bank. Both bottom and float but just a couple of bites and no catches all day.

Fishing abandoned after 2 hours heavy rain.

Fishing was excellent plenty of Chub and Barbel to 5 and 6 pounds, Big problem with the track only suitable for 4 x 4 vehicles even in dry conditions and a very long walk.

good days fishing plenty of Cub and barbel to 5lbs, also a couple of eels, using feeder method with meat as bait on a hair rig, only downside to this venue is the track around the field, do not attempt driving around the edge of the field unless you have a 4 x 4.
