Lovely venue with some beautiful scenery. The fishing was hectic all day with so many chub it was difficult to get through to the barbel. All the chub were over 3lbs and the barbel were 6lb 14oz, 8lb 3oz and 8lb 10oz. All fish took pellets on a mix of straight lead and feeder tactics. The only disappointment was the lower end of the fishery which was pretty much unfishable without a saw, stimmer and a weeks work.

River carrying a bit of extra water giving a good flow. Fish taken steadily throughout the afternoon and evening on pellets meat and bread. Lot of tackle lost in the wooded section.

Another amazing day on this beat. Caught from all across the beat and apart from 2 smaller barbel they were all between 6 and 8 pounds. Got a thorough soaking in the evening and also had a good amount of tackle swallowed by the rocks!

Still no signs up to state WUF private fishing which in my mind is a must given previous experience on this beat.

Great day on Fownhope 5. Pellet and feeder tactics took most fish with rolling meat taking a few of the chub. Good fun, looking forward to returning with friends in September.
