Very low river conditions, fished for 4 hours in end pool for only one chub on meat

1 Chub

no fish caught today .plenty of rain

Fished all afternoon but didn’t see any fish. The highlight of the day was looking over a bridge to see a kingfisher looking up at me. It stayed there for about 10 seconds before flying off down river.

Fished the lucky stone area, which was a very steep and tricky path to get to, no other accessible swims within the woods, 7 chub there. The rest of the chub were from the first accessible swim on the bank beyond the wood. Decent Barbel caught at froth pool by outlet.

A good day at How-Caple bright and sunny in the morning but clouded over with showers in the afternoon,the other angler that was booked on did not turn up so I had the best to myself which meant I could pre-bait 5swims and fish them in rotation.The river is still very low so I fished the swims at the downstream end in the nearside gulley which had the deeper and more oxygenated water,5 barbel ranging from 3lb up to 9lb and a 4lb chub groundbait and pellet feeder with meat on the hook caught all fish.

I only managed a couple of hours before leaving for home. Cold and squally weather as forecast. Fish - mainly small, one larger - came from the riffles on nymphs.
