6 Trout, 3 Grayling

Fishing very slow - not much flow on river due to lack of rain. All fish were in good condition and caught on either meat or pellet.
We booked online and the Foundation service and admin was excellent. Very prompt and easy to follow.

8 Chub

Fished fly only, in overcast conditions with water slightly coloured, probably ideal. We saw 6+ fish moving, all fresh , but sadly could not inveigle any. A splendid day on the river, and in all respects bar one a very satisfactory exercise.

14 fish, 2 bank and 12 boat. A bit cold and windy but good catches to bibio.

14 Trout

Started early in the meadow where the river was running sluggish and low. Weather was bright and clear. No bites all morning so moved down into the Wood, still no luck but had a useful chat with Don who offered some advice which I acted on, so spent the evening back up in the Meadow, where I managed five good sized chub and one small barbel the majority coming from the 'Pipes' swim. Thanks for the advice Don.

1 Barbel, 5 Chub

Walked the whole beat in the morning resulting in 5 chub from various swims. Afternoon, stayed in one swim where 10 barbel were caught, weighing between 7lbs 3oz and 10lbs 14oz.
Really good beat with so many variety's of swims, will be even better once there is a bit more water.

10 Barbel, 5 Chub

2 trout about 1lb and 2 around 3/4lb using dry fly (brown caddis) and nymphs. All returned. Grayling about 3/4lb.

Lovely day at a lovely location. Fishing probably could have been better but river very low and a hot sunny day. Our own lack of ability also didn't help, however we managed to put 2 Barbel and 3 Chub on the bank using cage feeders and pellets on the hook. Seemed to be a well looked after fishery with good access and plenty of swims to keep me and my Dad happy. We fished a couple of swims on the right bank as you look down stream. Would love to go back when there's a bit more water.

Another poor day with only the top part of the beat above the bridge fishable. Again access bad with no clear paths cut. The odd little sign would help and being related to a mountain goat for access would be an advantage.
