River still high but conditions looked good. Water was cold. Caught early but then struggled for the rest of the day. Fished six swims but the barbel were hiding somewhere and not really feeding

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

The river had dropped and it did look good I fished the manhole swim in the meadow, tried various meat and soft pellets but only had one bite about 2 o’clock on a halibut pellet which resulted in a nice 6 lb barbel ! Must admit I did expect more , but the weather was kind and plenty of birds especially kingfishers about so a very enjoyable day ,

all good sized Grayling, largest just under 16". A mix of heavy jig bugs on a french leader and some rising to Griffifths Gnat. Water was rising initially and then dropped back as the day went on.

Did not fish due to high river and waterlogged fields,

12 x grayling to 14 inches, 12 x out of season trout to 12 inches, high water trotting. Unwanted trout a real pest today.

12 Grayling

4 hours of rain and choppywaters with no bites, thought I'd give it one more hour after a fellow angler departed and caught the only fish I saw rise that day. No blank so look forward to next season.
