Caught nothing! Multitude of wet flies tried, damsel, hares ear, olive and a bunch of others. Went through a load of flies I had in my box with no joy. Tried 4 different spinners with no luck. Fished from 19 am to 6pm and only saw 8 fish rise. Didn't even see the cormorants catch....when I arrived I saw a group of 12 of them. Maybe it's just my bad luck but there didn't seem to be many fish about.

Caught under the tree downstream from the bridge

Weather was generally cloudy, small shower around 10am, some sunny spells. River slightly low, fished the dry river bed spot up from orchard parking. Used feeder with luncheon meat and over the day had chub including 5lb 7oz and 6lb 4oz, thrilled! Also barbel to 8lb10oz with two others over 8. Fabulous setting, great day.
PS tried three or four other swims down from orchard car park, no bites!

6 Barbel, 6 Chub

This was the first time I looked at/fished this beat. It is a fairly limited stretch so far as options are concerned with no shallower areas to create pools etc. I fished on the largest Croy which is closely accessible from the middle parking lay bye, although fairly steep. A recently fallen tree just downstream from the Croy however, limited options and ruined the natural flow. Hundreds of canoes! The river was fairly low with a mild tinge of colour and normally favourable.

I only fished this swim for around 3 hours before I called it a day and moved to a day ticket beat where I caught some good chub.
