Euro nymphed and a brief period fishing down and across with North country spiders. Hard fishing. Not much rising. Also one minnow.

River on its bones making fish location easier. A bit of streamer weed which was nice. Love this short boundary with accessible swims though rope still useful if you are on your own. Basically wading and waggler using hemp/corn for the chub and had 1 barbel on it- 2' deep! Spotted some barbel in a slightly deeper gully with faster water and had another 3 beautifully conditioned barbel to about 7lb on meat in fairly short succession. Canoes about -lots grounding but fish don't seem to mind them as good dace rising all day - surprised only had 2 on corn on a 14. Saw some lovely dace plus chublets and fish i could not identify upstream from the bridge on the upstream side - could they be shad? The dace were flashing all the time as was a shoal of small barbel on the downstream side - beautiful to see. Lots of wildlife - about 20 kites in a group in the morning and egrets/herons walking the far bank shallows.
Beautiful day - pleasure to be there.

4 Barbel, 14 Chub, 2 Other

Fished just for the evening in the same swim as on Friday and had the same result. The fish were around the same size as well although the second barbel was a bit smaller at around 4lb.
