Couple of hours from 5pm. Plenty of bites. Nothing on for long.

Day 3 of our annual pilgrimage. Scorching hot and sunny day so always up against it. But we persevered and winkled out a nice 7 1/2 pound barbel late on.
The bottom field was full of caravans and we were told that they had the fishing in that field during July/August - we were made to feel less than welcome. A shame as there are a couple of reasonable swims in that field.

Very low and clear. A few suicidal chub caught, but none of any size worth noting. No Barbel. Most of the beat is unfishable due to low water levels, overgrown banks or lack of swim clearance. Considering the high cost for a day ticket, I think work should be done to make more of the river accessible.
