Had an enjoyable days fishing sometimes catching sometimes not. Really enjoyed listening and watching the red kites which were nesting in the woods opposite. Most fish came once the canoe action had ceased and everything had quietened down.

We had a lovely day, albeit lacking in fish. 1 Barbel 8lb and 1 eel, both on meat. A lovely stretch of river and hopefully will return when the level is higher.

River was low, slow, clear and conditions were bright and warm. Only fished from 0700 until 1400 as from about 0900 there was a constant stream of canoes and at times, groups of 10 to 20. Most were good and went to the middle to far side but there were enough just coming within 5m of the back to make even fishing 1/4 to 1/3 of the way out impossible at times.
Lovely stretch and will prob go again but more autum/winter when hopefully there will be less traffic. We did manage one 8lb Barbel before the canoes arrived.

Unfortunately no fish caught. not even any discernible 'knocks' until late eve. The fish just weren't there! Never mind. Lovely beat though.

Arrived at crack of dawn, on what looked like promise of a great days fishing. Beat and swims excellent, and weather appeared to be in our favour. However by mid morning with no bites or fish it soon turned into a real slog. We tried most of swims but to no avail, couldn't even see a fish let alone catch one. Mid afternoon M.B. managed to catch 2 eels but unfortunately that was all. Worked our way back up beat to see if late afternoon/early evening produced, but still no luck, and finally called it a day at about 7.30pm as we were booked onto another beat following day. Plenty of salmon and trout rising and jumping and no problems with canoe traffic. A cracking beat that we want to try again.

Weather overcast with showers with a warm South Westerly breeze, river in good condition. Moderate canoe traffic, all respectful of my presence. Fished from mid-day in to the evening. After seven hours of intense concentration, three eels!!!!
