Very nice beat, albeit it on low water. Access gate might be easier to locate if signed ?
Best fish was 2.5lb Brownie

Warm and overcast with occasional clear hot spells, nice flow with tinge of colour. On the face of it, it fished well but most fish from one swim on anything tried. 6 other swims fished for a few Chub with everything tried, although two barbel lost. The two barbel came to 10mm halibuts one on a hemp feeder, one on a gb feeder. Barbel were jumping up the top but not feeding. A tree is down in one of the better swims which was disappointing but can't be helped, big job to sort by the look. Kingfishers, kites and egrets were a bonus.

I chose to leave my feeder rod at home in order to fish the bolo float for the first time. I was delighted to catch a 7lb barbel on the peg nearest the hut. I missed more fish than I hooked. This is a beautiful beat, but it's becoming quite overgrown. No one should come expecting a comfortable peg.

Water was up 6" and still had a little colour, so I was optimistic. Not many rising, so I used nymphs. All 11 fish were small - nothing over 1lb - and they seemed to prefer a pheasant tail nymph.

Three anglers for the day. Stretch has changes considerably since last visit, the beach opposite the wall is now substantially overgrown. Fishing was hard with only one Barbel while tackling up and a small chub late in the afternoon. Great venue though and access good although swims are limited
