Brilliant day. The rain helped in the evening. Had six fish the largest around a pound and in mint condition. All put back where they belong. Good fly life in patches but as it went dark the river was boiling and was really good sport.

Full of expectation but unfortunately only a couple of Barbel to show for a lot of effort

Didn’t get as long as I’d hoped. Conditions seemed good with some colour in the river but could not tempt much. 1 chub and a couple of eels from the slower upper section. Other anglers were on the lower faster water so left them in peace. Will try the lower end next time as looked good

1 Chub, 2 Other

River on the low and clear side; some interest in surface flies but no connections. Lovely setting as ever - thoroughly enjoyable.

Caught on float and feeder from various swims at the lower end of the beat Had chub to around 4lb on float fished meat Then had one barble around 5lb and several more chub on the feeder

fishing for barbel was very arduous for whatever reason, the only one caught was out of the nursery at less than a pound, the others were 9 Dace & 1 eel. some of the dace were very big, all caught on legered 8mm pellets with a feeder.
We did have a problem around midday when a canoe business owner turned up stating that he was going to land around 8 canoes in the fishing hut swim, despite our protests he said that he paid the owner of the stretch for this facility, the result was that we had around 8 canoes milling around the swim while being dragged one by one up the bank and carried to waiting transport, our fishing equipment had to be moved out of the way to avoid being trampled on and needless to say we caught very little after all of this commotion, we were not happy especially as we had paid a lot of money to fish this swim and didn't expect to share it with a load of canoes

Too dirty for night fishing.
