Great beat. You can find everything what you want on this beat, fast runs , medium speed water and great dry fly water. I love it. Definitely come back there. Tight lines ????

Baits used were pellet and meat.
The barbel was tempted with a hinders barbel bomb pellet. It came in an 5lb and 10ozs.
Quite overcast today with the odd attempt at a rain shower. Fantastic to see a number of pairs of kingfishers skimming the surface up and down the river on Beat 2.

We both ended up having a great day despite a slow start to the day, the fish seemed to switch on in the afternoon when the sun gave way to cloudy damp conditions .Most of the Barbel were 4 -7 lbs with a cracking fish of 10 lbs 6 oz being the best of the day along with one of 8 lbs 7 oz.Also some nice Chub up to around 5 lbs

Village must have been missing an idiot!!!! Not a problem with canoes..actually quite enjoy the banter!
Fished the very top swim , great access down to waters edge,fishing tight on the inside due to canoe traffic and two fellas arrived out of control spinning around ,on the calmest bit of river you’ve ever seen and actually bent my bankstick. I explained ….. even with my limited knowledge… the person steering the canoe is situated at the rear.. not the front.. Go figure !!
Strange day fishing wise… everything seemed good but…..hey ho ????????‍♂️
