Another tough day followed much the same as yesterday with a low clear river. Having found only a couple of productive swims the previous day we managed 4 barbel between 5 of us but with only 2 small areas producing we squeezed in together in the productive swims. With the river this low there were not many swims to go at (you could see the bottom and lack of fish present in a much of the stretch). Lovely place to spend time watching the salmon leaping but not overly productive in, granted, not great fishing conditions.

A very tough day with bright sunshine and low clear river. Walked the beats from top to bottom with very little seen apart from the frequently jumping salmon. 4 of us fished wherever we couldn't see the bottom and all day caught only small chub under a pound and one barbel. Dusk produced another barbel.

Another good day on this lovely beat. The weather, cool and overcast, was on my side today. The fish were taken throughout the day and were all a decent size. In between catches the leaping salmon and the swooping swallows provided the entertainment.

Gorgeous beat lots of wildlife to keep me interested as the fish had gone awol. Managed 2 chub after 14 hours of fishing and trying several different swims. River was low and wider than usual with lots of bankside erosian.

Beautiful fishery with lots of areas to go at. Thanks to Terry for spending the time to show us several possible locations. A tough day where it was essential to find where the fish were. 2 Barbel eventually obliged but, strangely, no chub at all.
