River was high and fast. Fished around the cable crib swim between crease and slack water mainly to hold bottom with 4oz feeder. Overcast conditions with a little rain. 7lb barbel the best of 7 fish plus a couple of eels. All fish on maggot. Excellent stretch with easy access.

River running very fast and coloured. Caught 2 barbel and 6 chub, the conditions... weather was not ideal, i.e. raining on and off and windy, but we both still enjoyed the day.

River high but starting to drop. Lots of debris/weed coming downstream, should be perfect in the next couple of days. Fishing quite hard and had no bites for a couple of hours and then 2 fish in 2 casts, then another 2 fish just before I packed up. The last barbel of the day being the best at 8lb 15oz on meat.

River looked perfect, but we struggled in all the normal swims. Better luck next time....

What a difference a week makes!River up and dirty brown. All part of the attraction.

Started at end of beat but river pushing through. L N had 6 chub. Nothing myself so moved up to bend still nothing. Colin came and put me in a peg upstream. 4 casts 2 barbel, 1 chub and a lost fish, that was it though. L N moved up but struggled. We decided to move a last time to get closer to car. The peg I tried produced nothing, the peg L.N dropped in was best of day, he had 7 barbel, 1 chub and lost a fish in last hour and half or so. Be careful of bank towards end of beat very slippy.

Influx of extra water had put the barbel off we think. Chub were very obliging once we got the feed in. One lovely water and will be booking again next year for sure.

First overnight frost and the barbel were quiet. The usual spot was throwing up a few to one chap. The chub were very obliging with two going over 5lbs. Feeder and ellips. Very well looked after stretch with strimmed paths and swims, having fished at Caradoc the day before it was nice to have most of the beat accesible.
