5 Barbel, 24 Chub

1 barbel on the first cast at lunch time, on the float with meat. After that, only cub all afternoon, loads on the float, all huge fish. No barrel to be seen all day since the first. Seemed to be the pattern across all 4 days we fished. You'd catch one barbel and then you wouldn't see another again that day.

Late afternoon/evening session exploring the middle to top end of the beat (shallower sections). Free-lining tactics. Conditions mostly too sunny perhaps but clouded over with a spot of rain in the evening. Fish between 1 and 3lb. River looked in ok condition given all the recent doom and gloom, plenty of streamer weed and abundant wildlife

I used a variety of dry and wet flies plus lures. I managed a take on a dry though I didn’t connect with the fish. The day was enjoyable however I found the beat to be challenging with steep banks and many trees to contend with.
I was the only rod fishing the beat that day so I imaging others felt the same.
I was disappointed to find that only one bank was accessible when the description clearly states the beat has two fishing banks. I feel this needs to be more accurately described in the website so that potential customers understand the limitations of the beat in order to make an informed decision.

Fishing Passport Note : Some double bank fisheries will only have access on one bank. It is always worth mentioning a double bank fishery, as anglers can fish the beat with the knowledge that no-one will be fishing opposite.

activity quiet, dace caught on legered maggots. River fairly clear, no wind, 5-10 degrees
