Pleased to have got to fish at all given the weather report. Enjoyed the day very much. Odd rising trout too

Wet and Windy, did not fish

Despite the rain over the last few days, the river was low. Very few fish showing in the afternoon or evening. Occasional fish reacting to a trickle of upwings, which is how I caught my one fish and missed another. I used a small Grey Wulf.

I love this beat, but shame the pub wasn't open for a welcoming pint at the end. Being refurbished after flooding I read.

Again, an overcast day (temp circa 18 degrees) with on and off rain through the session, but on a rising river due to the overnight rain (river level 0.51m @ the Mordiford station as of 11:15am 27/07/20). Fished 4hr session from 1pm - 5pm.

Fished The Lucky Stones peg, some treacherous walk that, catching from the first cast. Caught 9 fish within the first hour. Fished 50g closed swimfeeder, packed with 4mm pellets, and a banded 10mm pellet on the hook. Started filling the feeder during the session with hemp and 4mm pellets, which may have been a mistake, started catching more chub in lieu of the barbel. Lost 2 barbel to hook pulls.

Points of note:- the path through and to the woods is hilly, the path when wet is treacherously slippery, getting down to the pegs is difficult when wet, and so taking a rope with you is advised.

Tight lines all.
