Didn't get a line wet! River still very dirty in colour, pushing through and extremely inaccessible due to fencing, overgrown vegetation, closed footbridge. I would have been more determined if the clarity had been better. To add to my disappointment I think I left my 7' Greys 3 wt in the parking area, so if any one comes across it please let Admin know as they are also aware.

Got in the water after lunchtime having sacked off the Eyton beat on the Lugg due to poor conditions. Had a lovely afternoon on this beat, as usual, with a lot of activity to my nymph set up fishing down and across. Lost three good fish but still had plenty to the net. Wind got up after 4 pm which added a distinct chill to proceedings. Had a fortunate 15 minutes accompanied by a very chatty Kingfisher in a close by tree - probably offering me sage advice!

River was in great shape, about a metre ish at Ross and falling with settled weather. Expectations were high but fishing was tough. Tried pellet, luncheon meat and sweetcorn. Lone barbel was about 4 pound and both chub were bigger

Glorious sunny day with river falling slightly. Grayling, trout, lots of quality dace, and chub to 3lb taken on trotting maggots in the fast shallow water in the middle of the beat. Chub to 5lb 9oz taken on feeder/meat tactics in the deeper water.
