Poured with rain all day, making the banks hard to manage. Glad we brought rope and a dog spike. Fishing slow, but enjoyable.

We love 'Saggers Court' for the setting and wildlife. The fishing suits a roving style so that's what we do.
We located a few barbel but they were literally between a rock and a hard place and so tricky to tempt although we did get one of them out which was satisfying.
A few droppers of hemp and pellet were popped in a few swims and duly fished after a rest and they produced some action on a steady day.
Wildlife today, green woodpecker, kingfisher, buzzard, tree creeper, and bird that acted and looked like a dipper but was the wrong colour so we named it 'The Twerker'.
A great day down the river.

Unfortunately the fishing was not as good as two days earlier despite the little bit of rain we had had. However, the amazing bird life kept us entertained for the long periods in between bites. Our tactics were feeders loaded with Hemp and Halibut Pellet, with Pellet or Luncheon Meat on the hook. I still love this venue though!

Cool day with light rain. River at normal summer levels. Fishing slow and moving around to locate bites necessary.

I really love this venue, my mate not quite so and on this occasion the river was low and clear, but we managed to persuade a few fish to take our baits. Our tactics were to use feeders loaded with Hemp and Halibut Pellets with either pellet or Luncheon Meat on the hook. The fish really came on the feed later in the day and as we were leaving at sunset, my rod was still being pulled round by ravenous Chub. The other was a massive Eel, which actually took two Cheesy Garlic 8mm Pellets!

Water low, very hard going.

As expected not an easy day due to the low river and hot bright conditions.
The normal swims did not produce and my favoured peg in the trees up from the large house is no longer fishable due to a fallen tree it will requires a chain saw to clear.
Found fish latter in the day in some fast water toward the top of the beat, above the orchard.
First fish was a good perch getting close to 2lb taken on sweet corn ! Three barbel to 8lb 4oz and 6 chub the best 4.5lb
a good day after a slow start.
Thank you
