Weather was hot and clear. As usual plenty of chub showing in the Church pool but limited action due to temperature. One barbel from the lower part of the Church pool. Tried a number of other areas but could not find other barbel.

River very low and nothing much moving. I saw a parade of nine goosanders - spectacular, but maybe they had something to do with the lack of fish.

A low and clear river and a day of bright sunshine is not normally conducive to a bumper catch. Sure enough Barbel were largely absent. There are a lot of Chub throughout this section though. Standing high on the bank it was possible to see very many fish cruising around. One angler fished the Lucky Stone whilst the other initially fished a little downstream of this initially before moving on to the lower field.

Tried a range of baits and tactics all resulting in Chub with many of these being between 4lb and 5lb. Only one Barbel was hooked but unfortunately not landed. The ‘others’ were three Roach which managed to take a 10mm pellet.

61 Chub, 3 Other
