A bright day at first so had a slow start. Late afternoon was the best fishing. Method, Pellet and meat. Canoe traffic not to bad mostly afternoon.

The river looked good with a few extra inches following the previous day's rain so we were looking forward to a good day. It turned out to be surprisingly slow going. The barbel and 2 of the chub were a nice size though.

Spent most of the day roving and not catching. A few small chub caught on wagglered pellets. 1 Barbel and 2 nice chub caught on rolled meat in the evening. 1st barbel for my fishing buddy!

Two cracking barbel in the afternoon and a couple of chub shortly before dusk. River still low, not much quick water but mostly overcast and a little cooler.

Despite my brilliant fishing skills I managed to blank today. My neighbour however managed to tempt some beautiful barbel & chub & it was a pleasure to see these very strong fish in such good condition despite the low water levels of late. I was photographer for the day. The Canada geese seem to have had a very good breeding season this year;They swam past in procession over a period of half an hour (60 or 70) & later on in the evening gave several low level flypasts. I don't suppose the local farmers will be as pleased to see them?

Very hot with very little flow. Managed 4 nice Chub on pellet and meat. Pellet fish caught on feeder and meat trotting.

The river had dropped back several inches since our visit 2 days before but the catch was similar with our group catching 10 Barbel and 2 Chub, this time the tactics were a mixture of feeder and float.

Thanks to Terry the bailiff who was very helpful.
