8 Barbel, 9 Chub

Fished last swim before the no fishing area down the steps. Not a sausage not even a nibble no sign of any fish either. Some days it’s good some not so much onto the next one

Easy parking, and easy access down to the first stretch of the beat. A felled tree blocked access along the bank to the second stretch, so required walking along the road and then down the public footpath and then a scramble down a steep bank to get to it. Fine if you are mobile. It would be good to get rid of the tree ... but some flood water will no doubt sort that out if and when it ever comes. A very pleasant day trotting a float down, and although the kayaks were plentiful they were all very polite (if not skilled). Might have been difficult if I was trying to use a feeder; between 1100 and 1400 there were probably a couple of hundred people went past, but it didn't seem to impact the fishing at all.

You should stop selling fly fishing tickets or give fair warning, water level 2 low unable to access water due to silt and mud. If you fit fish don't bother till next season????????

River level is extremely low, it’s not really fishable I would avoid and allow it to recover.

Not really worthwhile going out today with only 4” or so on the gauge, but it scratched an itch.
All fish were small, biggest 8”, and caught nymphing.
A couple of canoeists were warned that they would be walking mid river in places ,but unsurprisingly took no notice.
