19 Barbel, 6 Chub, 4 Other

One fished in the wood and one in the meadow,a very quiet day with only 2 Chub caught,was expecting to do better after a good session here on Saturday but sometimes that's how it turns out.

2 Chub

Fished by the hut, was very enjoyable and productive, lost a big fish ( no I really mean it !!!!) but caught a wonderful barbel and a couple of chub and an eel. Had to stop around 1600 as the river turned into a motorway for branches, tree stumps, logs and meadows. Ten seconds after a cast my rod was being pulled into the river........A shame really.

First time on this beat. Very clear water and the bedrock and gravel gave no cover for the spooky fish. While stood at the tail of one pool, preparing to fish it, a cormorant launched itself from the head of the pool and took off upstream.

Once again the weather forecast was wrong, saying it would rain on and off all day today. In fact it rained during Wednesday night and the river rose do a decent height during the night and fell during the day.
I'm reminded what a lovely beat this, particularly the stretch in front of the hut down to the rapids. There was no sign of life at all until lunchtime when some flies started coming off and there was an occasional rise. All the fish I caught were in faster water.
There was, again, no sign of salmon. I have seen one Wye salmon only this year, when I hooked one and it got off. I can only imagine that numbers are low.

River about 6 ft visibility, nothing seen, lovely day but no fish.

Booked late in the afternoon for a few hours, river was coloured but still had 4 to the net from the top of the beat fishing close to the overhang trees. Lovely afternoon
