A cracking day on the main beat. Fishing was hard but managed 3 on the fly with the largest being a 1lb-1.5lb in the morning and 2 on the rapala in the afternoon with the best being. 3.5lb brown cock fish.

Was never going to repeat yesterdays red letter day - rain back today but we still managed to winkle a few out.

river well up. nothing caught today

Intended to fish the Lucky Stones but water levels made that a bit treacherous and after losing 2 lots of feeder tackle in the rocks I moved down to a comfy grass peg below the wood. In the lashing rain I had 14 chub, all to feeder and boilie.

2 at 9.5lbs and 1 at 9.0 lbs....rest were 8's, 7's couple 6's.....and 5 big chub, 2 eels. The bank was treacherous with the rain, I had crampons on which were needed. In the very edge the depth was 5ft, be careful in all the swims. Also I tackled down and stripped off 6 foot of line a couple of times due to rock damage....before the line broke on a fish. One of the barbel had a hook in it with 5 inches of line still attached, although that might have occurred in a different swim, better to spend a few minutes and check the line every few casts.
