River looked perfect and good to see the weed returning,fishing was tough but first time on this stretch so a lot to learn. As Simon from Tiverton said that hill down is a killer and obviously worse coming back up. I'm mid sixties and fairly fit but really struggled even without any gear when I went back to the car for lunch.
Question for fishing passport: is there any way in from the top of the beat where it is flat?
Fishing Passport Note : In answer to the question... no. There are usually agreements in place between land and fishery owners on access routes which must be adhered to

Getting down and up that bloody hill was torture !!!
Then add in 2 stiles and a narrow bridge and you have a VERY thorough examination of you fitness level and lung capacity. That is the bad bit. Now the good part.
There are lots of very well prepared swims to go at, the scenery is gorgeous , there are quite a few barbel and LOTS of chub to go at, even if the buggers aren't always hungry you can be sure they aint far away.

A much better day , over night rain had put some colour and water in the river. Three fish in the first hour, within the next hour the river rose by nearly a meter. Fished in all the slacks till last light with no reward. Good to see more weed growth in the river.

The weather played a big part in today’s fishing. The banks became quite dangerous. Just 1 chub. But good to be on the river.
