If so how did you do? Was planning on doing a recce soon but put this out to members before I make the journey and will put a bit of roving gear in the car if it’s fishable . Thanks.

There are two basic approaches: You can rove around, quietly dropping into fishy spots and giving it the full Mr Crabtree or you can find a peg 30m or so above a deep bend and draw the fish to you while trotting a bait - with a trickle of mashed bread or floaters used to draw the fish .
