Love this beautiful beat, has something for everyone, stunning location and is really well maintained.

Stayed down the bottom end, starting in the big "cut out" peg. I've done well on here before but after a few hours for one chub, decided to find the deeper water downstream resulting in loads of chub and a cute barbel.

Post lunch, dropped into the swim before it shallows up with the nice glide and had a fantastic few hours on the float (a chubfest on meat).

Got absolutely soaked for an hour but as soon as the rain stopped, the bites started. Almost one a chuck on secret pellets, including 3 good barbel.

Good day. Mixed bag of fish.

Warm and overcast with occasional clear hot spells, nice flow with tinge of colour. On the face of it, it fished well but most fish from one swim on anything tried. 6 other swims fished for a few Chub with everything tried, although two barbel lost. The two barbel came to 10mm halibuts one on a hemp feeder, one on a gb feeder. Barbel were jumping up the top but not feeding. A tree is down in one of the better swims which was disappointing but can't be helped, big job to sort by the look. Kingfishers, kites and egrets were a bonus.

River very low at 0.24 despite rain the day before. Colour was good though. 3 anglers fished and fish caught from all along the stretch. It was very slow but a great fishery. The rope on the bottom end of fishery saved me from going in on the slippery banks. Thank you for keeping these in place

Arrived & parked at the top of the beat & walked down most of it before deciding to move the car to the bottom of the beat. We walked the remainder of the section from this point & decided on the first swim opposite the castle ruins which looked a chub & barbel run around 3.5ft deep, steady pace & well oxygenated. First, its worth a mention that the fishery was well sign posted with good parking, paths were good all the way but the top end had some very precarious access, steep & muddy routes down to the swims that looked too dangerous after the recent rain & required proper steps & rails or at least a rope secured at the top to help you down. The swim unfortunately didn't produce the goods for us although my mate did ok with 2 Barbel at 5lb & 6lb & 2 Chub at 3.5 & 2lb. I caught 2 Chub on rolling meat biggest 3lbs & last knockings caught a Barbel around 6lb. Also had 2 small Chub from a swim further upstream on the float.
