Great days fishing, considering difficult conditions very slippery banks, dog spike essential in the wet.
Fished 3 swims that we could get in, picked up fish throughout the day

River very low at 0.24 despite rain the day before. Colour was good though. 3 anglers fished and fish caught from all along the stretch. It was very slow but a great fishery. The rope on the bottom end of fishery saved me from going in on the slippery banks. Thank you for keeping these in place

Heavy rain throughout the day, swimfeeder for Barbel and Chub. No bites

Arrived & parked at the top of the beat & walked down most of it before deciding to move the car to the bottom of the beat. We walked the remainder of the section from this point & decided on the first swim opposite the castle ruins which looked a chub & barbel run around 3.5ft deep, steady pace & well oxygenated. First, its worth a mention that the fishery was well sign posted with good parking, paths were good all the way but the top end had some very precarious access, steep & muddy routes down to the swims that looked too dangerous after the recent rain & required proper steps & rails or at least a rope secured at the top to help you down. The swim unfortunately didn't produce the goods for us although my mate did ok with 2 Barbel at 5lb & 6lb & 2 Chub at 3.5 & 2lb. I caught 2 Chub on rolling meat biggest 3lbs & last knockings caught a Barbel around 6lb. Also had 2 small Chub from a swim further upstream on the float.
