Feedback & Reports

Water very low in places due to persistent hot weather. No barbel or chub seen or caught. 1 eel graced my net unfortunately.

We last fished this stretch almost 20 years ago so it was nice to make a return.
Vehicle access is slightly different to what is illustrated on the map, but clearly defined so no chance of going wrong.

Unfortunately, the barbel didn't want to know. I had one small chub on the float early on and another around 3lb on the feeder later, while my fishing partner didn't have a sniff.

Still a very pleasant evening in lovely surroundings, but this is a stretch I won't return to until this abysmal weather breaks and we get more water.

Roasting hot and with the river being very low blanked, we bought a ticket to the elevated river gardens opposite to get a better vantage over the beat and saw a shoal of chub at the end of the bend, tried for them when we got back to the swim but to no avail. Stunning setting none the less. Thanks WUF

Fished this beat a few times, and it’s a stunner. Much better access under the current ownership! As expected conditions were difficult. The river was low and clear, with little flow. We managed 1 stunning Barbel of 9lb 4oz and a big Chub. On the whole a great day.

One of our favourite beats. Cleaned lice of all fish. All unhooked in the water, no need to take them on the bank.

Evening spell was best.

Great day. Fished opposite wier gardens, on pellets all fish came late afternoon. River low, weather very warm. Never fished here before but would go back - can drive down to river, 4x4 not needed in dry conditions.

Despite the Hot weather & Low Water we managed to catch 10 Barbel to 7lb & 1 Chub just under 5lb.
