Love this beat. Arrived on a cloudy afternoon with occasional light rain. Fished for 1.5 hours from 2 until 3:30. Few rising fish with tricky but rewarding casts to fish under tree roots and branches. First fish was an absolutely donkey! 15 inches caught on a para adams dry sz16. Really great fight on a 7ft rod. Second was 8 inches on the same fly. Caught further up stream on the pool just before entering the wooded area. Great afternoon fishing and always amazed at the size of the fish on the arrow.

The river was very low (0.18m on the Ross gauge) but, despite the warm water, the river was running fairly clear and with no sign of the pea green algae. There were salmon showing in The Vanstone and The Stones, mostly resident but some were running. We didn’t connect with any salmon but the chub were obliging, including one at 25” and presumably 4lb+.

First evening ticket- only 30 minutes away so worth a go ; Hoping for an evening rise but the rain came in so i wimped out after 2 hours. Would like to work out if it's possible to start at the down stream end of the beat and how you would manage when the water is deeper. Saw a couple of rises under overhanging trees. Murky water.

Hard day fishing at middle court 1 angler catching 8 chub 1 eel and 1 barbel, 2nd angler catching 2 barbel , biggest barbel was 7 and half pound, good strong healthy fish, all caught on meat.

3 Barbel, 8 Chub, 1 Other

Beautiful stretch. Access was good. Fished the shallow walled section and caught chub consistently through out the morning. Most success on meat. Moved to deeper section later in day. Again more chub but no barbel. Will return later in year

River could do with some more water but we still caught plenty of fish.
Most of the chub were 8oz up to 3lb.

The Barbel were about 12oz which shows the river is very healthy.
