As we are three elderly gentlemen we agreed after walking the entire fishery that apart from the croy at the end of the beat the rest was to unsafe for us to access any swims so we left and did not fish.
As for the walk back up that 100m track to the road well what can I say.
Any chance of a refund????

A lovely fishery if you don't mind the steep climb at the end of the day. The river was in great condition and a perfect level
All the fish were caught on feeder tactics and fell to various baits.

River up and conditions looked good, lots of debris coming down unsurprisingly which hampered things but kept mobile and found a few fish

Was really looking forward to this beat as had great afternoon on dean and chapter day before. Unfortunately it was not a great day. Access is really hard walk down the hill is a pain especially if wet which it was. Then over a style with over hanging trees
So all gear off etc. Ist 1/3 of mile very hard to fish as water so low and bank steep and high above water
Found some faster water at bottom of beat ( more styles though so gear off/ back on etc. We both like trotting, swim looked great (last croy) fed pellet trotted
Using pellet, luncheon meat and finally maggot and could hardly manage a bite apart from a couple of small dace and a chublet. Switched to ledgered pellet and a good take from good fish but hooked pulled a few seconds into fight. Switched again to roll meat l good bite resulted in chub around 3lb had a few more bites which i missed so we packed up early with thoughts of the long walk back ( over styles, bridge and finally up the hill my pal really struggled with the hill. I personally wouldn't fish this beat again

Fished top end on croy later morning into the afternoon with a couple of chub for my efforts father in law spotted some barbel on the shallow glides and managed a few fish 2 barbel and 6 chub. I moved onto slightly deeper water into dusk but only managed 2 chub. Lovely beat but it needs abut of water In as it's very shallow in places. The pegs are steep also a dog spike and rope would be required
2 Barbel, 9 Chub
