Great couple of hours fishing nymphs on the fast water above the mill stream 20+ WBT

A disappointing afternoon and evening session. Started in the woods about 16.00 and did not expect much in very warm bright conditions. So it proved with only three small chub and two eels. As dusk came I was more hopeful and a barbel bite resulted in a good fish hooked. However, it was lost among the rocks. Tackled up again, another bite with the same result. A third cast resulted in a longer wait and another eel. All on pellet and feeder. No more action and I packed up at 22.00.

3 Chub, 3 Other

1 x barbel 9lb 6oz on legered pellet
Small chub and dace on stick float

1 Barbel, 3 Chub, 8 Other

Fantastic days fishing. Total of 15 barbel caught trotting and just 1 on the deck. Lot's of chub and some large dace also caught. Biggest barbel was somewhere around the 8lb mark with most being between 1-3lb. Really lovely fishing and for anyone wanting to catch barbel under a float I'd have to say the beat is perfect.

16 Barbel

Barbel weighed 6lb and 8lb. Chub about 3.5lbs. All 3 caught from the bottom field as light started to fade.

Evening first exploration of this beat in a peaceful valley beneath the Sugarloaf. Water was low and very clear with a good flow, perhaps helped by the reservoir at its head. A couple of fish rising in the deeper pools at the lower end. Couldn't manage to get close enough to put a dry fly to them in the still conditions without spooking them. Nymphed the thin pockety water further up and had just the one 6" trout on a PTN, but well worth the visit.
