Water dropping and clearing nicely. Murky but very mild. No grayling.

Beautiful place to fish but sadly I did not have long. Lots of fish rising to areas with isolated hatches but these were a bit far for my travel rod. Looking forward to returning in the warmer weather.

First time here, don't know why I've ignored it before.
Easy parking and a nice walk to the river.
With the bridge out only the left bank is accessible, but more than enough water to go at for 4 or 5 hours.
20 grayling, largest about 12 inches.
20plus o.o.s. trout largest about 22 inches, plenty of good sized ones too.

First of all I would like to thank the lovely Rachel for doing such a wonderful job on the upkeep of the fishery it really is a very nice place to be. What I thought were perfect fishing conditions ie dull cloudy no rain or wind , the fish had different views! I struggled to find or catch tem anywhere. The bottom of the beat is usually a good bet but it was running very slow so it was difficult to fish the way I wanted . Caught a couple in the pool ( 1 on dry ) but this is usually full of fish so I probably spent more time here than I should have done! Anyway it was hard work but fun that's the main thing. Grayling to 13" trout to 10"

Overcast day, bigest barbel 7lb 8 oz, caught the barbel first, then the chub moved in, all on pellet with ground bait feeder, water fining down.

I was met with leaden skies and a mild day with the river running clear.
I parked up in one swim for the day and explored various parts of that swim.
All fish were take. On GB feeder with pellet and meat in the hook. Barbel was 5.9 and two best chub 4.5 and 4.2. Lost a barbel mid afternoon.

1 Barbel, 17 Chub

Dry and overcast conditions. River running fairly clear and low for the time of year. Tried a bit of piking and lost one low double at the net first thing but no other takes.
Chub we’re feeding well on a mixture of baits but mainly maggot feeder and trotted meat. Had a couple over 4lb but most 2-3lb. We lost one Barbel each, one on the float and one on the feeder to hook pulls but they were reluctant feeders today.
Had a bonus Sea Trout trotting. A really nice day again on this beautiful beat.

The banks are ninety nine percent unfishable and the amount of trees and other snags in the river on this stretch are unacceptable . Where are you supposed to put an unhooking mat

Fished hard all day, caught one pike about 12lb. Lost a huge fish due to it throwing the hooks, felt like a sack of cement when I tightened down. All I saw was a great big flash followed by my trace springing out of the water and then a huge boil on the surface. Unfortunately it wouldn't take another bait,..........the monster that got away.
