River level fairly low with clear water made for a difficult day. Fished the boat pool area with meat and pellet. No bites on meat but 3 good bites on pellet resulting in the 3 fish to save the day. Canoe traffic heavy during the day up to 4.00pm which didn’t help and resulting with having to wind in and let the less considerate ones and people with no idea how to paddle a canoe pass by.

Fished all day with 3 Barbel to 10lb 2oz coming at between 9 & 9.30 in the evening my mate had already stopped fishing as was fed up at the amount of end tackle he had lost to the snags

River level low. Ledger and free lined luncheon meat. Four eels up to a pound and a half taken. We saw kingfishers, woodpeckers, geese and ducks. More interestingly to anglers, a large salmon showed itself and created a considerable splash. Trout rising to fly and lots of small fish activity in the margins.
A lovely stretch and I look forward to returning when the water level is up a few feet.

Nothing caught.

Just fished the early morning as didn't fancy the hot weather. Anyway, the chub liked my pellets.

Short evening session. Expected slow going in the low conditions with 2 eels and 2 small chublets taken on maggots/worms. Two 3ft twitches at last knockings one missed one connected . Hardly any canoe traffic

Managed to catch a couple of barbel each in the evening, best 9lb 4oz and 8lb 4oz . Both of us also caught several chub. The others were 3 eels caught from 1 peg . Fish came to feeder and pellet/boilie tactics

Weather overcast and raining for most of the day which made the banks very slippery. River still brown coloured from the algae bloom. Fished the wood crib. All fish caught on meat, couldn’t buy a bite on pellet.
