Fished at the beginning of the stretch as the you are not allowed to drive along the bank due to heavy rainfall decided not to fish the far end of the stretch where I have previously caught barbel and chub.On the day I caught 5 chub on pellet/feeder.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

First time to fish this beat. Vehicle access for the entire length was extremely helpful.
Plenty of attractive swims to try, with the river still being coloured from rain the previous week. A day of two halves with the morning sunshine giving way to heavier than expected showers in the afternoon.
Couldn’t entice a Barbel this time (if it was that easy it would be called catching, not fishing). As always, the challenge is part of the attraction.
Numerous baits and methods managed to winkle out four Chub. Caught fish at both the top and bottom of the beat. Swans, Mallards and Egrets kept me company all day. Great to spend a day at the river after a gap of over a year.
Cattle were present at the bottom of the beat but were calm and caused no disruption to either my vehicle or my fishing. Only a handful of canoes throughout the day, all of whom were courteous. Thanks to all at the Foundation for a great service.
