Fished the top croy (not sure the fishing hut on the far bank is there any more ...assuming I was in the right place.
Walk down through the wood was steep but OK for me (may not be for others), and since I opted for the top peg it was a long walk along the bank; like the instructions state make sure you pack light!
Very pleasant evening trotting down off the croy with chub up to 4lb.

Three anglers for the afternoon travelling light. Cardiac hill seems to be getting easier. We were going to fish the Croy but good swims cut in the first field so didn't venture any further. Swims well cut out but recommend taking a rope as steep bank down to decent swims. Fishing was hard though.

River low and relatively clear. Odd clump of rannunculus and can only imagine what it must have been like when it was prolific here. Entrances to swims trimmed which was very welcomed. The fishing wasn't easy but we managed 15 chub mostly in the best way - trotting with centrepins. 10 decent ones and 5 that weren't quite lifters. From a number of swims from top to bottom of the beat. Managed a first in nearly 50 yrs of fishing namely catching an eel whilst trotting!. Not one for the unfit this beat and has the most badly designed footbridge to negotiate. One I would fish again though and hopefully the barbel will show next time.

Swim clearance excellent. No barbel caught, fished 13:00 to 21:30. Overcast conditions river low but with a little colour. Large numbers of chub present particularly in upstream swims if that’s what you’re after.

FIRST time on this beat PLEASE NOTE THE WAY DOWN TOO THE RIVER IS NOT THE BEST more Suitable for a mountain GOAT but ones we got there the surrounding area is very nice and very
PEACEFUL. As for the fishing not too bad with MH back managed to catch 21 chub SM catching 30
Chub and SG 9 chub again all on different baits plus some on the float. NOW back up the KHYBER PASS .

We arrived at a coloured but low river and struggled for bites in the most prolific of the swims. Eventually found some chub and caught around 25 between us, but the barbel were not playing ball despite seeing them throughout the day.

Quiet half day on the stretch really. Managed some chub trotting and on feeder. Lost a bunch of tackle on the rocks. No sign of the Barbel. Gorgeous section of river.
