Great day's fishing. Settled in a swim half way down left bank and started fishing at approx 1:00 pm after a late decision to fish this beat. Swims were easily accessible which was a pleasant change from last week. Bites pretty much every cast as the fish were in feeding mode. Barbel ranged from 1.5 pounds up to 9 pounds. Meat and sweetcorn was the order of the day although the only fish caught on pellet was the biggest. Several snags meant I lost a few fish and a number of feeders but all in all an enjoyable day.

12 Barbel, 1 Chub

Lovely day out, with changeable conditions. Lots of kayakers throughout the day so made things tricky with the lines out. But managed a few nice ones and a big chub. biggest was 7lb. large pellets on the hair with pva bags got all the action.
The owner came by and was a lovely bloke. Relaxed spot and had a great time. Small beat but lovely spot. Would recommend

small but beautiful stretch of water, very well maintained. Caught early with not much going on through day but started to liven up around 6 .

Pellet feeder and luncheon meat produced barbel to 7 pound 8 Oz. 1 fish produced an epic fight in the fast water down stream across the bridge.

Started the day on the very end peg on left bank (near sign) after the rapids. Difficult peg to fish (over hanging trees) but nearly a bite every cast which all turned out to be chub with the biggest about 4lb. Move later in the day to a deeper run looking for the barbel and fished the middle section. 6 barbel followed all on pellet biggest about 6lb. River looked very low but enjoyable day. Not many swims to fish but a small beat with enough accessible pegs and with some water I would expect the catch returns to rise but on this occasion 6 barbel and 12 chub we were more than happy with.

As expected river very low and clear. Fish spotted but not willing to feed in the strong sun all the same a good day, not at work We managed two small barbel and two chub to 3lb spent a good amount of time watch a large group of small barbel below the bridge.
