1 Barbel, 3 Chub

River very low but a beautiful beat with lots of wildlife, the ducklings were much more interested in my klinkhammer than the trout were. Fished morning and evening, duo and dries but couldn't tempt any of the sporadically rising fish despite a number of fly changes. Finally changed to a PTN at dusk and caught two nice trout in quick succession from a gutter at the lower end of the beat. I also rescued a bat that had taken a fly hanging from a bankside tree, thankfully still alive, a reminder that we all need to do everything to take all tackle with us.

second day on the stretch, fished beats 5 and 2, managed a couple of barbel, looked very healthy but absolutely smothered in lice (another angler reported the same). Still loads of small chub around

An excellent afternoon session rolling spam in the flow. Lice removed from Barbel. Be careful with the treacherous rocks on the bottom pool - particularly when it’s wet

Continued where I left off from Saturday but this time the barbel were cooperating. Took all three on feeder / pellet plus lots of chub including some 4lb’ers on trotted breadflake. Barbel were 7lb, 6lb, and 7.5lb

Great day but a few of the old pegs need work on to make them more accessible to fish.

River in good condition, but couldn’t find the barbel so only Chub caught. Mostly around the 1 to 2 lbs . Biggest around 4ish
