Nice cooler day after the earlier heatwave. First trip of the year and whilst river low the conditions were perfect and the fishing as good as normal. Some much appreciated bank work has been done with overhanging branches cut back which made life much easier - thanks to whoever did that. Eels, canoeists and other slimy things were around in numbers but all generally well behaved except one large school party that decided to stop and re-group right in front of me - "how's the fishing?" called out one of the teachers - I bit my lip hard.

Many thanks WUF, cracking day. Looking forward to the next one.

We have fished this beat several times and its one of our favorites. Very hot and bright sunny conditions. Couldn't stay until dusk

Weather conditions tough but fish fed right throughout, even in the middle of the day! Very strange in the very hot bright weather, had to pack up around 7 pm, just too much hot weather! But a great day in all, thanks WUF for a great day even though it was hot.
So sorry to gripe but some idiots were jumping out of their canoes and swimming down the river. Are they stupid or what? Don't they realise how dangerous rivers are? I know living next to the lower Severn and Warwickshire Avon! But I told a few and just abuse back! Someone tell these idiots please! They are just stupid, no life jackets either!

A bit of a struggle under a blazing hot sun with a constant procession of canoeists, most of whom spent more time in the water than in their craft. Surprisingly two of the three fish caught came around midday. The evening seemed to hold promise but then only produced one fish.

Tough conditions for opening day, river low and clear, weather bright and sunny.
Fishing was slow but we managed two barbel of about 7lb and 8lb and four chub of about 3lb from one of our favourite wood swims. Fish were in great condition as always. Great beat, back in a couple of weeks.

Out of the ordinary day with only 1 chub but still an amazing location with quality fish.
