Day 2, we fished the same stretches on Sunday with same tactics and similar results. Two of the party caught their first ever barbel which was tremendous. Had looked forward to this w/e for weeks and spent a fortune on refreshing my tackle bag....and then it was over. Already plotting our return!

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

"Other" fish caught: eel

1 Other

5 Trout, 1 Barbel

Hot and sunny, ......chub just under 5. Several fish lost to snags. Canoeists mainly sensible and careful, some perhaps not recognising others use the river.

Late afternoon into evening ~not ideal times buthe the beat to myself.
Slow burner but rewarded with some great barbel and a chub. Stunning venue.

Arrived to find the river still showing a tinge of colour but the warm bright conditions proved difficult. BP managed to winkle out a pristine Chub of approx. 2 ½ lb but despite best efforts with various pellets, meat and corn, this was to be the only success of the day. Overall, a tough day when the river reminded us who is boss. Still a great day to be on the bank. Numerous large Salmon jumping clear of the water throughout the day, with hundreds of Damselflies keeping us company. Surprisingly few canoes, most of whom were courteous and polite.

1 Chub

River conditions looked perfect, calm, overcast day ideal after wet start, angler needs practice ! Chub fell for various spicy meats, barbel not so gullible.
