4 eels caught.

Saharan day, one of the hottest of the year. Very hot and bright and water levels predictably low.
Fished the middle section of the beat using all methods and baits without a knock.
Moved to the bottom island section at lunchtime where all the chub were holed up.
Caught on both float and feeder. Meat and pellet. Could have continued and doubled the number but conditions got the better of us.

A really lovely day’s fishing despite the near-record temperatures. Water very low for the valley but still lots of deep areas. Tough fishing given the conditions and the lethargy of the trout but a few bites, which were earned the hard way. Glorious beat, even in this heat, and whichever band had arrived at the Studios to record kindly allowed us to refill our water bottles (I hope they weren’t famous enough that I should have recognised them!).
Absolutely stunning stretch of the Morrow, lots of deep water even in a drought/heatwave, some lovely stone “beaches” to set up camp in the shade in. Very much recommended.
