Great to be back on the beat. Various tactics used float and feeder. Quality chub

Couple of plucks but nothing landed. A couple of rises and a salmon showed for a bit of excitement

Low water, very little insect activity saw 3 rises all evening from small trout only. 2 tiny trout caught on downstream spiders with a few more plucks along the way

A couple of hours in the evening. Parked in a small layby right next to the river. Access was fairly easy but quite steep in places. Three chub caught on spam with a float and size 10 hook. Biggest around 5lb.

Tuition time for 4 novice fishermen... they all enjoyed their day but no catches to report unfortunately; Well that's not entirely true, one intrepid caster, once he'd mastered the bale- arm business did manage to 'catch' the opposite bank four times ,losing all the end tackle each time. I only hope he catches a fish soon or the enthusiasm may wane a little?
As usual a beautiful spot to spend an evening.
Thanks WUF.

Chilly August day but great conditions for catching Barbel & Chub. Fished the fast water at the end of the beat and caught fish all day on and off, all on feeders and meat. Great beat with brilliant access.

Breezy day, good conditions, managed to locate the carp and landed 5 commons up to 12lb, lost 2 to hook pulls.
These fish are super hard fighting, suitably strong kit is required if targeting the carp.

Fish taken pretty regular throughout the day from the faster waster, fishing under the rod tip I still had a canoe wipe me out - I was camouflaged so I was hard to spot but clearly they were going to mount the bank anyway.
Apart from that a good day
