With big suns and 26 degrees forecast it was less than ideal conditions for me here for the second time this season. Still, gotta play what you're dealt so I started in the bottom pool about 7 on gb feeder and a variety of hookbaits. Nothing for the first half hour and then 3 barbel to 5lb and 10 Chub. Moved to the run at 10:45 and added 4 barbel and 8 Chub on the float and meat in a couple of hours before it went completely dead.
Not the numbers the guy had last week but far from ideal conditions as I said. Only a dozen of so canoes and one swimmers up above me. Nevertheless a lovely morning capped by very narrowly missing a roe deer that ran out on me in the forest on the way home. That would have been a very poor end to a good day.

7 Barbel, 18 Chub

2 Barbel, 3 Chub

Fished from around mid day to dark at the lower end of the island. 1 barbel around 4lb, 2+3lb chub on rolled meat or feeder and a few small fish on the float.
Not sure what the situation is with access, the path we're told to take has a "no footpath" sign and the public footpath from the church is forbidden to anglers. Other fisheries are available.

1 Barbel, 5 Chub, 2 Other

Only one trout on GRHE nymph, released in good condition. Trout rising freely to hatch at around dusk but no luck with the dry fly.

The day was very warm and bright attracting a number of swimmers into the river. Fishing was hard through the day and we only managed 9 chub between us. All were between 3 and 4 lbs.
