Very shallow stretch but beautiful. 2 barbel lost, there is a hole under bridge if you cast up but very shaggy. Middle stretch was constant raps from little fis, don’t think anything decent was there. Wish I had spent more time in littke cut out swim at bottom end of stretch. Had to stand at top to cast but hooked a barbel and lost a couple of nice chub in snags. But it was last swim I visited but the fish def wanted to be at the tail of the fast water.

Fished bottom peg on left hand bank. Rain made bank very slippy. Banks are very steep on left bank. Better suited to getting down into water really. Right hand bank has more accessible pegs. Had 6 chub out just under 5lb and painfully lost 2 barbel before 7:30am. Before it went quite for a couple of hours. Changed bait from bloodworm barbel pellets to meat and started catching again. Old reliable worm also caught me a couple of chub. As did halibut pellets on hair. As I always say, Chub and barbel are not fussy and will take pretty much anything if you find them. Only fished until 2 pm and thy were still biting. Finished off with 14 chub an lost a few. Will return there’s plenty of fish on this stretch.

Nice to be back on the banks, all fish taken on pellet feeder.
The other was an eel.
Otters active here.

Limited opportunity on swims for this time of the year low water but made best use of end pegs in faster water fished well throughout the day left by 6.30 ????

Lost two barbel to snags.

I was kind of expecting a slow day so not too despondent with my return on a cold but dry autumn day....a feisty graying was the highlight of the catch and all the Chub were a fairly good stamp.
Not sure why this beat is not producing more but all part of the mystery which keeps us guessing....and coming back.

Not many swims, steep banks, but nice area to fish. 1x Chub first thing in the morning, followed by a missed bite, and then nothing.
