Beck's Hatter??
Hi men ,

Yes Terry , top end . We looked for swims most missed if we could , especially if we could watch them go about their business 🙂. Once in low clear water we had to hand lower the rig less than a foot from the bank with the rod laying against the slope , a bite see the rod go past us with sue grabbing the rod by the spigot , hence chaos 😂. Iv often said there were times we fed them and could have certainly caught , but left them to eat peacefully, this was one of those swims 👍

The top field is head high with balsam etc and not maintained at all. And now there's no longer sheep in the lower fields, and due to massive amounts of flood debris etc, there's very few swims available down there. I'm used to Teme 'jungles', and I love them, but that stretch has all but been destroyed. Once you work your way into a swim you find it full of half-sunken branches/logs etc. The opposite bank (ex BS) is now a better option IMO (see @Shaun Nurse ).
