Water temperature had cooled after heavy rain on days prior to fishing. Fished both the wooded area - close to car park - and half way down the meadow all to no avail. Nothing showing to either legered or float fished baits of all kinds. Anglers on bank opposite did not catch either. Pestered by young ducks diving for our baits in the wood area. Bottom there is covered with filamentous green-brown algae/weed which makes fishing bottom baits awkward at times. Will not bother again until there is a lot more water on, hopefully later in the year.

River rising throughout the day. Others 3 dace and an eel

River was very low and conditions generally poor. Fished fly on 10ft rods, AFTM4 for trout and 7/8 for salmon, and please note I fished only the Eggleston Hall beat as my party were staying there. No salmon whatever showed during the entire week. The 6 trout I hooked were small (maximum 9 inches) and all returned unharmed to the river. As a comment, I have to say that river access and wading were rather difficult throughout the beat, with the low river exposing many round and slippery boulders.

River level still low but a cloudy day with some rain showers. Used meat and various types of pellet but could only temp the Chub to feed despite fishing the faster water swims.
