Plenty of chub around on feeder or trotting tactics.

Nice stretch, will be back when it has some more water on it for those barbel!

River very low and clear. Very hot, no bits!

Just a quick hour and a quarter tonight , after tea, fished between seven and eight fifteen , basically between the two bridges , first things first , did a thermometer dip , in fact I did three in three locations through the evening just to see if there is a consistency , and there was , sitting at 14 degrees , so all good , at the moment , a bit low , but on this beat , there are some deep sections .

Missed a few good rises in the hour , but managed two , quickly brought in , and quickly released too , healthy little tubby eight inch fish ….. had a lovely swirl by a big boy in the first long glide , and boy did he leave a steady splash in the foot deep water !!!!!!

Nice to see that log jam gone , and some lovely work with the bankside butted up with the chainsawed trees and branches , I presume Louis and his team maybe did the work , looks very professionally done , and there are no obstructions at all now between bridge to bridge , lovely job …. Can the same be done on the Kington beat …… pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease !!!!!!!!!

Even some mayfly tonight , saw five , was certainly idyllic there , and the kingfisher darting up and down twice ….. and the grey squirrels hammering the last of the hazel nuts up above ….. there numbers seemed to have increased big time in Herefordshire . I bagged over a hundred on our patch when they were on the beech mast …..

Anyway , a fun but quick hour , home time , and a nice cold can of Gaymers cider , ohhhhhhhh yes …. The end of a nice day , sorted !!!!

Beautiful stretch of water, but very low. No fish rising or sighted! A stile for access would be a welcome addition for those of us getting on in years.

Sunglasses found at Holme Lacy 3 & Lechmeres Ley. Please call Colin to be reunited.
