Between 6lb 9lb

2 Barbel

Mainly small fish with one trout from head of Ferry nudging 12”. They went for the size 16 gold head on the point.
Other was a minnow(!)which took #18 soft hackle on dropper.

Some hard work has been done with the strimmer to make the tricky path more visible and to open up one or two more entry points. Thanks for your efforts.
Had to be selective about wading and avoided one or two spots which have usually produced fish in lower water.

Nice afternoon/evening fishing. Weather was really kind. Caught a some good fish but was slow going. Wonderful to be at Creel again.

2 Barbel, 8 Chub

A friend (MC) fished my rod on Saturday resulting in a nicely conditioned fish of about 12 lbs caught on fly.

1 Salmon

River was up a good couple of feet on normal summer levels and was ripping through. Fished the lucky stone in the morning for 4 chub to 3.5lb before heading to the New Inn for a spot of lunch and a pint.

After watching a few overs of the local cricket match we headed back to the river, didn't fancy the trek back through the woods so fished the swim by the boathouse. Sun was blazing for most of the afternoon but we managed 3 more chub and 3 barbel which were all around the 6lb mark, not huge but great sport in the flow. All fish taken on pellet fished with a feeder.

All in all a good day, only negative was the lack of access to swims, doesn't seem to be much in the way of bankside maintenance going on.
