7 Barbel

Bright day, some cloud and intermittent breeze. On the water from 2 pm to 6 pm One tiddler - but nothing else and no significant activity. Lovely spot and on another day has the feel that there are fish to be caught.

1 Trout

Stuck to dry fly on upper section of beat. Two trout 6" and 11" with a couple more (and numerous salmon parr) self-releasing on the barbless hook. Very attractive section of water, but tricky wading on sloping slabs of bedrock in upper pools. Several flypasts by kingfisher.

A hard fighting circa 15 lb fish caught wading between Long Stream groynes.

1 Salmon

River looked great with a tinge and about .7 m up. Access to most swims opposite the gardens especially boat house not really possible . Small beach at top end was nice however and opened account here with 2 good barbel on meat . Eel tempted me onto float and enjoyed trotting meat and corn for 1 lost barbel and about 100 dace - some very nice ones. Can't believe we didn't contact any good chub. We fished 10- 6. Pub calling.
