Two of us fished this lovely fished filled little river, proper jungle warfare stuff, once you’re in you’re in...which was fine until we’d fished our way almost back to the bridge and car where a very deep pool with no way around stopped us. After back tracking we found a way out and walked around a field before finding the road back to the car. After a break we made our way up stream of the bridge and carried on catching, mostly on nymphs with one or two on dries where casting was possible in the undergrowth. Plenty of fly life including Mayflies. A very enjoyable days fishing.

Lovely day, water levels good and not too warm. All fish taken with NZ dropper, mix of dry and nymph.
A little difficult to find the start of the beat.

8 trout 8-12",most on a small hares ear,all but one in the tails of the runs. A bit of a assault course now ,and thats just the walk to the beat,but a great 4 hours fishing.

Haven't ever tried Chanstone Court beat , so gave it a go this morning . Cool start , six degrees , overcast and still , nice weather to be out , bimbled down passed the bridge , to the side of the oil seed rape field , and strewth talk about bad access , very few places to get in , and out !!!!!!!

The Abbey Dore beat is much more user friendly to be honest . I'm agile but this was a crazy beat . As lots of tight barbed wire every were , bit of a nightmare , anyway after the winge , onto the fishing !!

Nothing showing on top , still a tad early , so single tungsten size 18 olive nymph , took a while before any action , then wallop , confident take , and boy did he go !!! About ten inches , cracking condition , quickly released , good start . . . . . . . .

No more tackers for a while , then another deep pool , head of it , another good take , fish of about twelve inches , great colouration , and a nice run around on the two weight rod ! Slipped back in , happy days . . . . A pleasant few hours , a bit frustrating with the access , surely a few styles can be placed here and there for getting in and out of the stream ???? I guess we're spoilt , as there's plenty of streams all round herefordshire and the borders , so we can afford to be picky , ha ha ha !!!!

Will give this one another go from my usual Arrow , Lugg and Pinsley beats , it's still very pleasant , although I think Abbey Dore pips it hands down , nice chilled out three hours , two lovely Dore brownies caught and released . Another day off tomorrow, where too , mmmmmm I wonder !!!!!!! May be Bugeilyn or Talybont for a change ! After all variety is the spice of life !
