A long walk upstream to find accessible river, but on a short session in bright sun had a Barbel and 3 chub all to trundling meat

A productive days fishing in a picturesque location.
On first reconnoitring the beat, the first peg you come to (fishing hut) was clearly the spot for local dogs to enjoy their daily swim in addition to their constitutional walk. It was a little surprising when later the dog owners themselves jumped in! Canoes were launched throughout the day.
We fished the wooded area. Its worth noting that at present, the path at the near end of the wood is impassable. You have to walk to the far end of the wood, then walk back along the bank to get access to the natural swims available. Its a long walk up and down a hill!
Lastly, the 2 clear pegs in the wood were full of fish. But, they were both very snaggy. I don't see any other reports of this. Possibly somethings moved in and lodged there recently.

Weather was very hot and sunny, no sign of any fish, no bites at all, difficult days fishing.

The river was still very low and the colour was slightly less brown although far from being clear. Very pleasant temperature for fishing. Floating streamer weed still a nuisance. The barbel were seemingly not interested in feeding during the day and all fish bar one were caught in the last couple of hours .

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.
