River rising & pushing through fast, managed to tempt a couple of Chub from the slack water at bottom of beat, nice to be by the river in the sunshine

2 Chub

Falling river. 0.79m cloudy. All on nymph. French leader

4 Grayling

Blank day unfortunately for targeted species, river level was falling however was the colour of milk chocolate. Used mackerel dead baits which the eels enjoyed but no Pike. Falling temperature with a stiff wind not ideal for the other rod feeder method however an enjoyable day all the same.

The planets seemed to be aligning: last day of a week long mild spell with near double figure temperatures overnight; the river dropping half a metre in the preceding two days; south westerlies and very little rain the previous day.
HOWEVER, 'very little rain' resulted in me waking to a foot rise which continued through the day, and the water was on the dirty side of coloured. 4 different slacks fished with a variety of baits and not a bite. Still a nice day on a beautiful venue.

River was very high and caught 1 barbel as it was getting dark on meat

Didn't go,weather inclement

No fish caught, very tough fishing conditions, river up over 1 metre and coloured, deep and fast throughout. Bank fishing was the order of the day. Near margin nymphing and indicator nymphing tried but to no avail this time.

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

River just starting to drop, similar approach to yesterday yielded 4 Barbel and a Chub

4 Barbel, 1 Chub
