River in perfect condition but weather ferociously hot. Barbel fishing slow going but plenty of chub about and lots of small fish if you are that way inclined (which I am)

Only fished the morning as I was driven from the bank by the weather, it’s the first time I have had to give up fishing in the uk because of the heat! Nice stretch of the river, but didn’t explore the whole beat. Ended up at the orchard area and fished really well despite the heat, which was a pleasant surprise. All fish fell to pellet and were all in pristine condition.

Second day. One us fished at the orchard car park end for 17 chub to about 4 lbs and a couple of morning barbel, biggest 7 1/2 lbs. The other went down to opposite the big houses at the bottom of the big meadow. No bites came until evening time but a couple of average chub lifted the spirits. The barbel eventually fed at last knockings with two taken in the last half hour as the light faded. The biggest was just over 7 lbs. This session was not as prolific for barbel as my previous visit here but still an enjoyable couple of days.
