Not much to say really… desperately need some water in the river!
It was scorching hot today with very little shade on this lovely stretch, so I was happy to have caught 2 chub.

A very misty morning greeted us at 6am as we walked down from the church-yard car-park to the beat, decided to start from the top limit of the beat and work our way down the beat, on the steps by the weir found a great spot, only to find two other anglers had beaten us to it as they were fishing from the opposite bank! Bank access in places was steep but land owner had made every effort the clear areas to fish, the nature and bird life never disappoints, and always manage to see a kingfisher, which always makes my day, to see river extremely low it would be difficult to find any good depth with good oxygenated water enough for a swim feeder or lead, the fishing was going to be very difficult and made harder by the sweltering sun which eventually burnt through late morning, found and tried a number of swims down the beat but no elusive barbel, however tried trotting a float down a couple of likely swims and found non stop Chub action that kept us busy for the remainder of the afternoon until we could bear the sun no more, corn seemed to be the better bait along with bread. Boat traffic was very light thankfully.
Thanks WUF for yet another great day, will definitely be back, hopefully when the water levels are much higher and water coloured.
NB. Met another angler with his wife early that morning walking along the bank, had a brief chat, afterwards i thought "two anglers we met earlier, the two of us and the chap i bumped into, makes 5 ? on a beat that only allows 3 rods? How can that be?

Fishing Passport Note : The anglers on the opposite bank were most likely poaching. Please call us if you suspect that other anglers are present that shouldnt be.

Had a good day despite the low water conditions and hot sun.Some nice Chub through the afternoon ,and the Barbel were caught right at the end of the day with the biggest around 8 lbs.Good to finally see the group of large Carp on the beat but they were not feeding today.

A good days fishing, though much warmer and sunnier than forecast!

River was very low, and the lack of weed this year was obvious.

Barbel were hard to find, we managed two to 10lb 1oz. The chub were obliging as always, to 5lb 4oz. Majority of fish came on meat. This is a lovely beat, and would recommend - doubtless will fish better with a bit more colour and higher level.
