Fished for a couple hours Sunday morning, very different from my previous visit earlier in the week, the river had dropped 8 inches. What I lost in quantity I made up for in quality, 2 fish 12 inches plus, on Duo rig, fish taking size 16 nymph on 2mm bead.

2 Trout

Very heavy rain from early morning. Only stayed for two hours then left as it was set for the day.

fished lake hir in the late afternoon early evening after heavy down pour in the morning small amount of fish activity but none interested in the fly.

2 Trout, 9 Grayling

Rather more inclement weather meant only one of the group fished for a couple of hours in the morning. The result was one Barbel.
In less than favourable conditions the four of us had 36 Barbel and 22 Chub in essentially three days of fishing. The average stamp of Barbel was around 7 - 8lb with a couple of scraper doubles, and the biggest Chub was approaching 5lb.
All in all an excellent trip to a stunning beat. Roll on next September!

1 Barbel

Good start off the last Croy with 4 nice chub before it went quiet. All to feeder tactics. Tried rolling meat for the first time but no joy. It went quiet, so a quick chat to another angler saw me moving downstream where I got 2 small chub, small barbel and lost a good one to a hook pull. The afternoon spent trotting the float in where I got pointed to by the said angler. Not only spot and tactics but he also got me sorted with some spare tackle. Gent!! If you're reading it, thanks again! Got 11 chub and a barbel in the evening. Amazingly well kept beat.
