It proved to be the perfect place to settle the nerves after the England v Columbia penalty shoot out! The river is low but this stretch always has fast deep gullies close in that hold plenty of fish. Hooked up within 5 minutes and caught steadily during the day in the hazy sunshine. Feeder and pellet proving as reliable as ever. Most fish were between 6 and 8 lb. Beatiful stretch of river with easy access and plenty of decent swims, will definitely be back.

Only fished a couple of hours very early before the sun got too hot. A great stretch of the river but no fish caught.

Had been looking forward to a day at this lovely venue, but was expecting a difficult day, due to low clear river and likely bright sunshine.
Started on R/H Bank above the ford, caught early on float fished meat 10 chub between 1lb and 2 lb about 9 am river switched off. Moved down below the ford had two Chub about 4lb then lost one and never saw another fish.
Packed in at 11.30 as it was clear nothing was going to feed until sun had gone down and temperature had dropped.
Was very suprised to not see any Barbel even with the elements very much against you, as this stretch was full of them last year.

I fished in the late afternoon and evening on another very warm day, but cloudy for most of the time. River very low and warm. Floating weed a bit of a nuisance. Tried a variety of baits and methods, with pellet on light leger accounting for most fish, including an eel. No sign of barbel until nearly 9 o'clock, then had two, both 4-5lb, with another lost.

Steady going, another mid afternoon until dusk session. All caught on 10mm pellets. Nice to catch on the centrepin with a Wallis cast.

A quick visit late evening fished from 20:30 to 21:30. Nothing much moving until it started to get dark. 4 fish caught from the same riffle just below the bridge I lost my fly to the last one so packed up.

All caught on size 18 para Adams.
