First visit to this beat and it's a cracker. Fished the upper section and there were about 5 very decent swims that had been well strimmed (thank you to the owner). Had 5 barbel - a 5, a 6, a 7, an 8 and a 9.5 (new PB). Plus a 4lb chub. All on either meat or pellet behind the feeder. Superb.

Overnight rain had flushed a lot of colour into the river and perhaps lowered the temperature. Three of us fished with just one from the handful producing some 20 chub, most around the 1lb mark with the best about 3lb all caught on float fished corn and bread. The other swims were pretty much dead with no amount of bait or method producing anything. Remember...this is a particularly short stretch of water with 4 fishable swims. You get a lot more for your money on other beats. Perhaps that is why the owner tempts anglers by describing it as 'the honey pot' on this part of the river. We found it a disappointment, perhaps others will fare better with improved conditions. If immersing yourself in green is your thing, the opposite trees are spectacular when the sun catches them.

4 rods fished for most of the day, conditions looked good but it was very slow going with only 6 small chub for our efforts, biggest was 1.5lb
