3 barbel and 2 chub on maggot despite bright and sunny conditions and clear water.

Two pike to double figures. Another great stretch. It would have been nice to have fished a full day but had to leave early because of the weather.

The internet service was great and very easy to book our tickets. Please keep up the good work.
One fish was caught: 12lb 4oz pike on a lure.
The scenery at this location was fantastic but we were disappointed at the lack of access to the river from the bank. We found only 2 locations, one at the start and also the build out at the end of the beat. “Plenty of spots to access the water” is an inaccurate statement for the average angler.

Instructions on the website, of how to get to the beat and the extent of where it is, before you book the tickets would be helpful to assist in judging the beat’s suitability through viewing Google Earth. WUF NOTE: as preferred by owners, beat limits are not given out prior to making a booking - if you wish for a more detailed location of a beat please contact the Booking Office on 01982 560788.

We had to rescue a drowning sheep by hauling it up a steep bank at risk. It would have been helpful to have a contact number for the owner of the land in case of an emergency.

We will be using your service again.

Five barbel caught between 2 rods in rain during the afternoon -5, 6, 6, 7 and 9 1/2 lbs.

A nice mild overcast day, with the river carying about a foot of extra water. We started in a nice looking swim a couple of fields upstream of the brook, and fished for three houres for one bite (which I missed).
We then decided to move back downstream to a couple of swims in the slow steady water below the shallows (about half way up the first field). This made an immediate difference, with a nice barbel within ten minutes coming to Lukes rod. We finished the day with four barbel between us, all caught on pellet, weighing around five to seven and a half pounds.

Started by the old railway bridge,very low and clear, also quite snaggy. Had 1 barbel to pellet in 3 hours before moving downstream below Carey brook. This move prompted better sport just past the shallows and added 1 more barbel and 7 chub - all caught on pellet. Bit more rain needed for near perfect conditions.

Started above old railway bridge, very snaggy and low. Moved after couple of hours to swim 2 fields down below Carey brook. Finished the day in a frenzy with 9 barbel between 5 and 8lbs and 7 chub to 4lbs. All fish caught on pellet.

A glorious autumn day spent in beautiful surroundings. Between two rods we had 5 Barbel and 3 Chub. The Barbel ranged from 4lb 13oz to 8lb 5oz. All fish were caught using pellet or meat. The infamous walk back to the layby through the steep wooded path gets you breaking into a bit of a sweat. Who said fishing is a sedentary sport?

3 barbel of 4-8, 6-4 and 9-0 pounds plus 4 chub in the 2 to 3 pounds range, all caught on luncheon meat from a swim mid way along the first field. Lost several more fish (and a couple of sets of terminal tackle) to unseen snags. The steep, narrow woodland track is a bit of an ordeal on the way back from the river to the car, but in my view, completely worth it. A fabulous day's fishing in beautiful surroundings.

Quite a slow day to start but it picked up before midday. Finished with 4 barbel and 2 chub between us, went away happy with a p.b chub of 4lb 9oz, it looked more like 6lb in the net!
