Evening fishing, Many fish surfacing with may fly rising too. I had only one take and a few knocks but unfortunately no catches made.

After a long wait we finally managed to book onto this beat. Great beat but with limited swims, which may have been due to exceptionally low river level. Blistering sum and 30 degrees made fishing uncomfortable, but at least sun was on our backs.
Having walked the beat, we were pleased to see the other angler fishing last peg on the island, and he informed us we were on the island as we wouldn't have known as water dried up between island and main bank. He was bagging up on chub on floaty which was promising. As other reports have mentioned the path at the far bank is tricky, and we struggled even without our kit.
We fished the deeper water nearer the end 10.30-17.30 but really struggled, only managing to winkle out one 3+lb chub on meat. Hopefully next time it will not be quite as warm.

1 Chub

No barbel caught

Very nice morning then went home for lunch
I would think last knockings tonight would be amazing but not for me today it’s just to hot ????

Nothing caught, fished only for a few hours due to very low water levels and oppressive heat. Unfortunately one of the penalties of booking in advance, better value to join one of the local clubs. Very serious concerns over the condition of this beautiful river.
