Cool day with light rain. River at normal summer levels. Fishing slow and moving around to locate bites necessary.

I really love this venue, my mate not quite so and on this occasion the river was low and clear, but we managed to persuade a few fish to take our baits. Our tactics were to use feeders loaded with Hemp and Halibut Pellets with either pellet or Luncheon Meat on the hook. The fish really came on the feed later in the day and as we were leaving at sunset, my rod was still being pulled round by ravenous Chub. The other was a massive Eel, which actually took two Cheesy Garlic 8mm Pellets!

Water low, very hard going.

As expected not an easy day due to the low river and hot bright conditions.
The normal swims did not produce and my favoured peg in the trees up from the large house is no longer fishable due to a fallen tree it will requires a chain saw to clear.
Found fish latter in the day in some fast water toward the top of the beat, above the orchard.
First fish was a good perch getting close to 2lb taken on sweet corn ! Three barbel to 8lb 4oz and 6 chub the best 4.5lb
a good day after a slow start.
Thank you

River at normal levels but water very warm after recent heatwave. Fish all to pellet feeder. Barbel to 7.5 lbs, Chub to 4lbs.

Not surprisingly river low , Very hot day so was always going to difficult . The only fish to be found was in the middle swim on the lower section , but was unfishable due to a fallen tree blocking any chance of a cast to them. No fish caught .
