Had one Barbel about 8lb and 5 small Barbel of around 12oz. River was fining down after previous day and was fishable all day unlike previous day when weed and branches coming downstream meant I couldn't fish from around 5pm. Also caught 10 dace trotting maggot.

Rising river hampered sport, but managed a few chub on meat. Also caught seven very small barbel (up to 7 inches would you beleive). Had plenty of dace on the float on maggots to good size.

Very shallow and weedy stretch, and was hard going. Three chub and a single barbel on pellet.

River low and clear but enjoyable day as always. Fished the far bank a little more on this visit and LD had success rolling meat for the Chub. Tried float rod for couple of hours in afternoon plenty of Chublets and Dace to maggot along with a lovely Brownie of around 1lb. Fair amount of Salmon activity along beat. Barbel was only a small fish and fell to pellet halfway along roadside bank.

Fished the last swim down stream on the road side from 3pm to 7pm with very little action. The weather was bright and sunny but the fishing was tough going... Using pellet/feeder the best I could manage was a 4 1/2lb Chub! Not a great days fishing but a lovely day to be out there.

Good colour for fishing but somewhat disappointed with this beat as mostly shallow gravel open water with no real fish holding features. Probably better in early season when more weed present and can run a float through.
Feeder fishing, then two swims on east bank(road side) probably best.
Positive is good access to water, can park near to where you fish, and countryside is very pleasant. However I personally will be crossing this off my list of WUF fisheries to visit, though seems popular with some judging by the number of well worn swims.

A good day with a nice flow on the river. Chub to 4lb through the day but just the one barbel.

WUF, thankyou for a great day!

River had good flow and was quite clear. First swim produced one 9-inch barbel! Moved to another swim in the evening and had three more barbel to 7lb 9oz and a chub of about 31/4 lb. All on pellet with feeder. Cleared up a tangle of another angler's discarded line on the bank - why are people so careless?
