Very tough day with barbel coming out of the blue through the whole session. River was low but carrying colour. As always a beautiful stretch but the fish were not on today. We moved regularly all day and covered the whole stretch.

Had a very enjoyable day on this beautiful beat. The river was very low, but coloured due to algae. Roved the whole stretch, mostly feeder fishing and took Chub in most swims, but Barbel just weren't interested.

water coloured and deep. i fished the top half of the beat first and found some fast water at the very top that was productive on nymphs. 2 fish to net and lost 3 more. all were over 1lb and one that i lost felt much bigger.

wading out to the foam lines & deep channels was tricky without being able to see the bottom. but worth it!

the bottom half of the beat i found completely inaccessible- the camp site bank has a drop of 15 feet all the way along & entering at the bridge & wading down stream was impossible in coloured deep water. perhaps in clear water it would be do-able

very few features on this part of the river but can imagine if the fish were rising it would be dry fly heaven with a stead y even flow.

returned to some faster water but nothing for the rest of the day.

all fish caught & lost were on the same green tag brown beaded nymph

Water low and dropping. Fishing nymphs in the riffle, lost 3 decent brown trout .
Saw big coloured salmon moving, hooked and lost 1. All in all lovely day on a pretty beat.
