9 Trout, 2 Grayling

Arrived to find the river still showing a tinge of colour but the warm bright conditions proved difficult. BP managed to winkle out a pristine Chub of approx. 2 ½ lb but despite best efforts with various pellets, meat and corn, this was to be the only success of the day. Overall, a tough day when the river reminded us who is boss. Still a great day to be on the bank. Numerous large Salmon jumping clear of the water throughout the day, with hundreds of Damselflies keeping us company. Surprisingly few canoes, most of whom were courteous and polite.

Caught 9 trout. Fished with guide Chris Price. Good guide and good company. The path on the river bank can do with a trimming, because it was completely over grown.

Not as prolific as expected for this beat fishing 5pm til dusk. Usual pellet and feeder tactics.

5 Barbel, 6 Chub

Hot and sultry day with few fish moving. Caught four smallish trout on nymphs and lost a better fish. Had one offer to a dry fly. Came off at 19.30 as wind picked up .

A very hot day, a lot of canoes, 85% were. as usual fine, the other 15 shouldn't be left in charge of a shopping trolley, nevermind a craft on moving water!! I fished opposite the pumping station using pellet or bolies on the hook, barbel were up to 9 pounds the chub were all good sizes, one of the eels was the biggest I've had for a long time.

One of the hottest days of the year at 32degrees but what an absolute pleasure fishing this fantastic river on such a beautiful stretch, caught steadily all day despite the temperature. River was in perfect condition. Caught on feeder tactics with bollie, pellet and luncheon meat all taking fish. Chub up to 5lb and barbel 8lb. Will def be back soon. Canoe traffic was high, but this was to be expected.

Bit of a guess on the total but it was into double figures. Started the day off badly; snapped the tip of my main rod unpacking it, luckily i had a long line nymphing setup with me too so that limited my tactics for the day. All but 1 fish taken in the morning to a pheasant tail Mary. Fish ranged in size from 6-14 inches. I'm a bit rusty with a long line leader and missed lots of takes plus quite a few came off the hook. Lots of hatches during the morning but very few rising fish, there were some salmon (i think) leaping out of the water every now and then. Only 2 or 3 takes during the afternoon, only 1 of which came to the net.
