Fished for about an hour after checking out numerous swims for a clear spot, copious amount of weed covering the river bed & constant weed coming down
Covering bait & pulling it out of position.
Far from ideal! Shame as this is my favourite beat but conditions against me. Bring on the rain,& lots of it

Trotted meat for a few hours into dusk - no sign of any fish (no bites or fish activity observed).

Very low water and a lot of algae to contend with (even in the clearer runs, every cast came back with algae/weed on the line). Slack areas had several inches of it on the river bed. Waders pretty much essential when the river is at this level to access fishable areas. Steep banks for the most part which is fine in the dry, though if the ground was wet I’d want to have a spike and a rope with me. Either way, best avoided for those with limited mobility. Would like to return in Autumn when the level is up and weed has died off.

Late evening session didn’t produce. Not a touch. A couple of barbel flashing on far bank in last hr but that was it. Green algae everywhere!

Blankety Blank!!!

Just the Eels biting today. Beautiful day relaxing by the river bank though! River was low and clear.

Super frustrating day of fishing - didn't catch anything two days ago, nothing today either. Tried everything in the book - I guess the fish just weren't that hungry this week.
The really little ones were interested in the maggots, and I caught one of 'm. But that was about it.
River was rather low, water was clear.

Fishing Passport Note : This beat has dispensation for the use of maggots during this period.

Fished two different locations.
Used bait: luncheon meat, halibut pellets, oozing baits, maggots (allowed here),
methods: ledger, feeder with ground bait, float
Not a single bite.
Pulled lots of weeds out though...

Did not fish, due to planned inclement weather.
