Reservoir is like a bath. No fish. Disappointing

Getting down to the river is a bit of a nightmare on this beat. Lovely water though once you’ve scrambled through the undergrowth! A 2 pounder saved the evening.

Great access - thanks owner to the 3 or 4 swims easily accessible. River though clear had a brown stained appearance - algae? Couldnt see the weed but caught up with lots of bright green weed on the hook - good sign.

Chub to mainly meat feeder(one on pellet) with some on the float - the biggest to 5lb on stick float and tare over hemp loose feed. Late barbel - about 7lb and in pristine condition to meat feeder. Left about 4 as pub beckoned after a hot day. Must try the evening sometime.
Other fish were small chub, dace and huge bleak on tare or corn.

Day started cloudy and drizzly before becoming sunny. Water was quite high but coloured. Up stream wind most of day made nymphing rather difficult. All fish caught with nymphs - all pretty small.

Great day all fish from bottom pool. Fish were all small upto 5lb but the river looked in fine form with tuns of fry and various wildlife. Cleared up all litter from previous anglers in the swim.
