Day two of our trip, a hot sunny day, much warmer than the previous day. Despite seeing several barbel flashing behind the islands only chub were caught. A barbel was eventually tempted below the bridge but the upper bridge pool produced only chub.

River low and clear, one bite all day. No fish caught. Annoying to find 3 Polish guys fishing on our beat. I am not sure if they had caught/taken any fish from river. I have reported the matter to Environment Agency.
WUF Note: This was the correct response. Any suspected illegal fishing should be reported to the EA as soon as possible.

River low and clear, on a bright sunny day. All fish caught legering meat and pellets in shallow channels in the prolific streamer weed. Watch out for the many swans, as they can easily fly into your line. Quite a few anglers on the opposite non WUF side, though they kept mainly to the bridge pools.
7 Barbel, 12 Chub
