Update on this stretch.
after attempting to fish it their are a couple of stretches down stream on the bend which are easily accessed but water levels need to come up, the rest of the downstream and up stream stretches are challenging to access to say the least banks are steep and in some cases 10 plus feet above the waterline.
it would need minimal tackle and a safety line to get up and down the bank add to that some of the undergrowth is over 4ft tall so seeing your way down is a risk.
Given my resent medical history of a hip replacement I choose to give it a miss this stretch is probably best fished with a fishing buddy.
Also would like to thank the 2 people who were most helpful for sharing their knowledge with me, and not treating things like a closely guarded secret.
thanks guys
