Amazing day on the river catching 19 on the stick float and 3 on the tip, ranging from 1lb up to 5lb.
All caught on the left hand bank from various pegs. Silk weed coming down the river was an pain but it was still great

A beautiful day amongst the gradual emergence of autumnal colours. Very mild, with little wind and perfect water conditions. Quite a few fish rising throughout late morning/early afternoon which resulted in some excellent dry fly action. Lost a couple on the nymphs too, but this technique wasn’t as effective as it usually proves to be.

Having fished the upper section before we wanted to try the lower left section, but we walked all the way down to the bottom only to find one decent swim as the river level was too shallow at that time.
We had to clear a swim as there was 2 of us, not impressed
However we did have 4 barbel over the 2 sections in the end on meat and pellet ledgering

Numerous signal crayfish, the res now has a serious problem with them. They are taking over and are everywhere

1 Trout, 20 Other

Heavy rain all morning and a half dunk whilst wading meant I was wet cold and in need of a shower and dry clothes by lunchtime :( Had 1 trout c10" on a nymph and lost a couple of smaller ones before I called it a day.

All caught on French leader style nymph, plenty of water bowling through but still clear enough. Heavy showers most of the afternoon. Nothing over 11 “ but nice to be fishing again after the drought.
