River up and lots of weed coming down river following rain, static bait almost impossible with debris and boats - rolling meat took the fish.

over 150 canoes passed us from 9am to 6pm so fishing was very hard, we actually caught 3 individual canoes who didn't have a clue!
River had a lot of weed but flowing fine, we saw lots of Salmon jumping and apart from the very noisy (music blaring) canoeist it was a pleasant day
we tried various baits, Pellet, meat and Cheese but caught all fish on spicy sausage?

As yesterday the barbel were small other than one 7 pounder and again were caught just above the bottom crib on single 8mm pellet being spicy sausage, halibut or krill. We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing and the easy access from car to peg was particularly welcome.

Fished this venue before and like last time nothing happened till the afternoon. Can't blame the canooists in the morning even though they choose like us the fastest water to use. Downstream areas difficult to access even with a rope so concentrated on the upstream end. Keith did the best in a sluggish swim by loose feeding and fishing sweetcorn, Peter also lost a big barbel after a raft of weed caught the line above the fish. He put it at 10 plus - again on corn. We left at 6 pm - think we would have continued catching.

The river looked good with a few extra inches following the previous day's rain so we were looking forward to a good day. It turned out to be surprisingly slow going. The barbel and 2 of the chub were a nice size though.

Caught below the water confluence at the island beat. All fish ranged from 2 to 8 lbs. All taken on mesh pva bags and hair rigged double size 8mm pellet. Great day lovely weather and the conditions were perfect. Fish came steadily throughout the day. From underneath the overhanging tree.
