Really hard going compared with the previous day with just one chub approx 4lb, tried all the flavours and colours of baits I had with me but couldn’t tempt anything

Four anglers, swims steep with limited space so recommend taking a rope. Fishing was hard and previously have been able to drive to the top end, no longer allowed. One of us ventured to walk it and was rewarded with a single 3lb Chub, one of the few that day. A good location though as you can park neext to the river with a couple of adjacent comfortable swims. Fun watching the Kingfishers catching more than us.

The river looked in a perfect fishing state as to did the climate - cloudy, warm but not too warm and with no wind. All fish came to feeder tactics throughout the day and all at the top end of the beat. A beautiful setting amongst the wildlife

Following the heavy overnight rain , and frequent light showers throughout the day I was glad to be on a level clay bank with the brolly up. Although i did have to share the bank with hundreds of black and brown slugs that covered my gear with slime, nonetheless a very good day

Chub 2 to 6lb3oz a new PB also a 5lb14oz

Did not fish due to the heavy rain overnight. The foot access can be tricky with gear in dry conditions so didn’t fancy trying it in the wet,also to get the best from this beat requires wading not much fun in the rain and a rising river

Fished at the croy upstream of Biblins bridge using stick float and swimfeeder tactics. Shame we had to leave early as bites were coming more regularly post 4pm.

lovely area, more effort needs to be put in to swims, to make it possible to fish . It wouldn't take much effort to clear some of the over hanging branches as this restricts casting and the banks to some swims made safer and easier to acess, Other than that nice place.
This has been mentioned by other anglers before as well.

Rain on and off all day, to dangerous for safety reasons to fish any upstream pegs. Managed to fish one down stream peg all be it with two ropes one to a tree half way down and one to a screw bank stick.( very slippy.)Had an enjoyable day once down on the flat. River rose six inches while fishing. Finished with two barbel best 7.5lb and 15 chub up to 4..5 lb.
