3 hours in evening, lovely time but did not see a fish.

1 Trout, 1 Chub

Good directions, and good vehicle access - got down to the far end of the beat across the fields in a non-4WD car with no problems on a dry day. Able to park right behind the swim, and easy to get down to the beach.
Fished beyond the bridge with 1 rod half-way down the beach, and 1 rod off the bottom of the beach.
Low, clear water. Mixture of trotting down and feeder, with most fish caught on float. 5 barbel, but all small.
30 chub, lots between 3lb and 5lb. 1 eel.

Lovely days fishing, with not too many canoes, walkers, or other interruptions, and the cows and horses behaved themselves. Would certainly return.

Nothing

fished from dawn to lunch time with no fish in fact not a sign of a fish. The river is low but also a dirty brown colour. The swims were not clear as there was very few places to get suitable access's to the river. Certainty not a stretch for those who struggle to walk on uneven ground. And yes I know it is a wild river and that some scrambling is to be expected but still if the beat is for 6 anglers then it should be able to have six swims available. Parking is a issue also as the waterworks area that the directions point you towards has signs on the fence stating no parking due to health and safety issues. the alternative parking is not the greatest and the walk from the car parks is not for the faint hearted !!

Conditions getting tougher by the day, a couple of nice barbel on rolling meat through the faster(!) water

Started by the salmon hut but anglers on the opposite bank were casting all the way over. Made the trek to the rocks in the woods. Broken twice on the rocks by barbel who know every sharp stone.
