River started low and clear but later on started to rise and at a bit of a pace, which in turn brought fresh water and plenty of debris which made fishing a little hard.
Fished the lower part of Sugwas which had good access from the second parking area and a good few swims to fish, always have a good time even if the fishing wasn't to good this time.

River was low and clear and was a challenge to find the fish, never the less a fantastic stretch with great wildlife and scenery.
The stretch is still over grown up river so it would be good to have that section cleared so to access more fishing.
Great to see the electric fence in place, not sure the cows are happy as the cannot reach the river but for the anglers it give you peace of mind your not going to a cow or 2 in your swim.

Directions for Orchard not very clear..multiple choice of gates.. we chose the wrong one first of all and wasted 30 mins .Parking at river then requires Anglers to navigate a style not mentioned in description. Then access footpath not suitable for a trolley or barrow. steep in places not suitable for older anglers. No access to pegs downstream from parking point in orchard.No way to even get down to rivet All overgrown ! Decided to fish lower section but again layby not clear and had to ask at a small farm house to be sure we were in the right place. River low and clear..no depth only 12 inches deep. 2 Barbel caught all day between 3 Anglers..disappointing.Nice scenery but wont be coming back much better day ticket stretches with better access.

5 Barbel to 8lb 2oz and 4 Chub to 3lb.
Feeder and Fluro hooklinks to hair rig on size 8 or 10
River had risen after 2 days of rainfall and during the middle of the river we needed 3oz feeders. Normally this time of year 1oz would be fine.
Baits used were a variety of hookbaits Pallatrax Squabs and Barbel Blitz plus some dynamite bates fruity boilies as well. Used a feeder with ground bait, hemp and loose feed pellet.
Beautiful stretch of river with reasonable access either from the Orchard or further down the road by the gate.
Would fish here again

Decent day in changeable conditions. Had 6 decent chub between us, biggest 4lb 8oz and at last knockings managed a barbel of 5lb 1oz, cracking condition. Upper part of the stretch (Orchards field) is pretty unfishable so concentrate efforts in field next door and further down.

Clear bright hot day we both fished several swims using feeder pellet tactics which produced 4 Barbel two to each of us biggest 9Lb 8oz and two Chub largest 5lb 8oz. A good result on a hard day in beautiful surroundings.
