Caught on spinner, all 3 taken home.

Good day slowly made it to 6.

6 Trout

All anglers caught, chub only showed up today. Good sizes ranging from 2lb to 4lb caught with meat and pellets. Pity no barbel showed up, disappointed to find two other people fishing this stretch of water that weren't booked on. Had a visit from the Gilly for this fishery and reported others fishing further down the stretch.

24 Chub

9 Trout

Too windy to fish.

Arrived to see river levels up by around 8inces and a decent flow pushing through. Coloured but pushing through lots of weed, caught no stop weed. Made a move 12.30 to a different swim water levels eased off canoes dropped off then fish came on the feed. 7 Barbel all a good stamp up to and including a couple at 9lb. Only weed for 4hrs then Barbel moved onto the feed. Great way to end a weeks holiday. Packed up for the long drive home. All fish came to feeder krill and hemp with krill dumbells. 2 idiots on canoes that purposely when out of their way to try cutting the line near bank. All other canoes polite and friendly.

7 Barbel, 3 Chub

Such an interesting beat but a bit cheeky at times. Lost a big G on sedge early on and then had fun with mid-size fish with a couple of grayling in the 35-40cm range.

Wading staff a must for me. The kingfisher will keep you company. As Arnie says......I'll be back!

5 Trout, 9 Grayling

While the river was very low, it was carrying a bit of colour. I don't know if this was due to the overnight rain, or just the way our rivers are these days. Around a dozen Grayling and 3 Trout from upstream in the morning. The Grayling were mostly in the 8 to 10 inch bracket, but one of the Trout must have gone 2lb. This could have been a 59 Flyfishers stockfish but, if it was, it was a long way from home. Otherwise, a veritable Lugg leviathan. All on a weighted nymph. Another dozen or so Grayling from downstream in the afternoon

My two Others were Minnows - which took a Size 14 PTN with alacrity

I have been fishing this beat for the best part of 20 years. Although I had a good day today, the beat is in need of some TLC; with fallen trees and rickety stiles a plenty. While Time's Winged Chariot may be hurrying near, I am still reasonably agile, but found myself struggling at times today
