Nicely overcast conditions all through the day. Fished the majority of the time on 2 swims between Old Wharf and Wyebank which were a bit less snaggy than some other Wyebank swims fished previously. Best barbel over 8lbs and chub over 4lbs. Had a great beer at the Forge Hammer Inn after fishing, well recommended.

Favourable conditions and river looking in fine fettle, good flow. Fish taken on feeder and float using a wide selection of baits, meat, boilies, various pellets and bread. We were looking forward to a productive evening session when a late afternoon down pour rendered the banks rather treacherous so decided to call it quits at 18:30. Enjoyable beat but be aware the parking for the top section is in very close proximity to a continuous bonfire and subject to heavy agricultural machinery.

First time on this beat and we were really impressed by it. There's a lot of well maintained swims to chose from.
We arrived at the same time as the other three anglers who were booked into this beat. They knew exactly which swims they wanted to fish and this left us with the choice of the remainder to select from. We started at the upstream end but despite them looking good for a few fish, we struggled for bites.
Taking the opportunity to have a walk along the whole of the beat we found a couple more swims towards the downstream end which looked good and we could see that there were plenty of Chub present.
Relocating to these swims we had high hopes of a good late afternoon and evening session. The weather though had other ideas and took a turn for the worse and after a couple of hours of sticking it out we decided that a steak and pint was a more attractive option than continuing to get wet.
I'm not sure that we particularly did this fabulous looking venue justice on the day and we will certainly be back in the future.
