Bright and sunny. 4 barbel hooked in the first hour and then they switched off completely. The chub continued to feed sporadically.

A day that I found myself in the zone and the fish were right there with me. Six hours fishing and 39 fish. Fished three swims and caught all on various 8mm pellets. Constantly adjusting tactics to avoid the attentions of the gluttonous chub that seemed to relate the splash of a feeder to that of a dinner bell.
I would like thank Colin Richardson the bailiff who was as always cheerful, helpful and supportive. This fishery feels very secure in his care.

Really hot day with a welcome cool breeze coming off the river. Water level low and still falling but still some colour.

Quiet day overall not helped by the blazing sun (yes I know I shouldn't complain). 3 barbel around the 6lb mark and 1 chub about 3lbs.
We will be back to improve!

We had an enjoyable day, albeit not quite as productive as some previous visits to this beat, probably due to the hot and bright conditions. My fishing partner beat me 8 to 6 in terms of barbel, although sabotage and underhand tricks helped to tip the balance in his favour.
The lower parts of the beat look a bit different after the winter floods with a couple of dramatic landslips on the far bank, but the barbel are still there.

First day on this stretch so a lot to learn. Very well kept beat indeed - a pleasure to fish.

Blank for Salmon, 2 x Shad and a good size brownie gave me short lived hope. Interesting and well maintained beat with some fishing from croys and some wading at the bottom. Thank you.
