I don’t consider myself a fine weather angler but only managed 4 hours fishing in torrential rain. Lovely stretch of river, four Chub trotting two over 4lb

Well, we certainly arranged the weather for fishing again, seems the days we pick have been very wet this year. However the fish didn't seem to mind. Fish were taken throughout the beat on either upstream nymphs or spiders fished down and across.
This is a very well maintained beat with relatively easy access, care needed when wading as there are some troublesome and slippery boulders hiding away. It was fabulous to share the beat with an otter who regular showed but didn't seem to be bothered by our presence. Plenty of birds taking the flies that hatched fairly regularly but not enough to get the fish looking up. We had a great day but if we had caught everything we connected with it would have been spectacular. Nothing large today apart of a chub of a couple of pounds but plenty of half pounders that bodes well for the future.

A very enjoyable day on a smashing beat despite the rain.

Enjoyable evening session at Foy Bridge. I fished from 5 until 9.30 and used 3 of the available pegs on either side of the river. Managed to bag 7 chub, with the biggest being around 3lb. Also spotted a couple of barbel and large chub under the bridge on my arrival. Water level on the low side but plenty of small fry in the margins. Again a very nice evening of relaxed fishing.

Didn't bother fishing, area I was hoping to fish was not accessible due to fallen trees and lack of maintenance. Was also surprised to find another angle fishing when I was the only angler booked on the stretch.

Weather bad fishing great. Fish split between feeder with 8mm pellet and float fished meat. Faster water at bottom of beat was full of fish.

5 Barbel, 47 Chub

Really miserable weather today with persistent rain all day as well as feeling a good few degrees cooler than recent weeks.
With the weather being as it was we decided to fish one of the very few swims that we felt we could access safely as climbing down a sheer muddy bank looked like a recipe for disaster in those conditions.
After a couple of hours of sitting in the rain and with no sign of a bite for either of us we decided that there were better things to be doing. We were right in this and spent a very pleasant afternoon in the pub instead.
