Two of us fishing. A disappointing day with only two baby Barbel and four eels caught. Tactics mainly meat or pellet. Probably too static today. Angler on opposite bank caught 15 barbel and 3 chub on caster, so definitely worth a try as an option to pellet for the barbel. This is a lovely spot and I'm sure it can produce plenty of fish on another day

We had a slow start to the day but by trying various swims we all caught well catching 18 barbel to 9 lb, mainly caught on hair rigged pellet and a lot of the fish we caught under the near bank bushes

18 Barbel, 1 Chub

Wonderful setting - peregrines, barn owls, kite, buzzards, barbel. Barbel, barbel and barbel all along. Reccomend a long landing net handle on some swims which are fairly high up with the lowish water.

Complete blank - fair bit of water had gone into the river in 24hours so possible a temperature change turned the fish off the feed?

Shame, stretch look nice, easy manageable swims and some lovely deeper runs off the main flow but only one real whack on the tip all day, what I managed to miss.

The river was very low. Managed 2 barbel on feeder tactics.

River was low and clear. we fished pellet on pellet waggler and had eight fish between us.T he fish were all in the 4-6lb bracket.
I would not recommend this stretch for more than two anglers as the swims were limited and there were 7 anglers on the other bank mostly either wading across to our bank were there was the most flow or feeder fishing again onto our bank. This meant that the limited number of swims were even more limited.
