A great days sport. River and weather conditions perfect. 15 chub caught on rolling meat float fished pellet and feeder fished boilie, from chublet to 4lb 5oz. A barbel would have been 'The icing on the cake'. Thanks to Terry and all at the Trust. Fished beats 3 and 4. The gate was unlocked when we arrived and couldn't be locked when we left. Will be back soon.

Not my best day on this, one of my favourite beats. It is very difficult to access the river in midsummer when the bracken on the banks is so high that you cannot work out where to fight your way through to get to the relatively few access areas down the steep banks. Stiles are all broken and there is no field margin path through cereal crops, so, until you get to the last field on the beat it is quite challenging. Once in the river I tried to wade as far as possible bit getting out was no easier than getting in. Some fly hatches but fish rises were once per fish, it seemed. However, the highlight of the day was watching a dog otter fishing about 30m away from me. I watched him diving and turning over stones and coming up with small fish (bullhead? Stone loach?) for 45 mins. He knew I was there and wasn't bothered at all. Trout weren't bothered either as I caught one a few minutes after he drifted away downstream. An absolute treat.
