Enjoyable day. Good temperature and mainly cloudy.
Not fished this stretch before and liked the location and easy access to the fishery. River had a bit of colour and a good flow.
Fished with running ledger and used pva mesh attached to hair rig with red pellet. 2 good barbel. Largest tipped the scales at 8 1/2lb and the other just over 7lbs. Lost a couple too. Fished the top end all morning and went home early in the afternoon. Banks are a bit slippery so take care.

More than happy to return to this venue.

2 Barbel

Other was Dace so a five species day . Always interesting fishing with maggots as you don’t know what you’re going to catch. Tried other baits to no avail so stuck with maggots fished through a black cap feeder.

2 Trout, 2 Grayling, 2 Barbel, 6 Chub, 7 Other

Didn't fish. Access to swims a bit too tricky for me. Time catching up with my old bones!

clear water, bright day fished beat 2 and the long walk down to beat 4...hard work. not the best stretch when waters up - "leaves on the line" meant the feeeder was never in for too long so i guess easier to spook the fish.. and there's not a heap of swims to rotate through. Still a lovely quiet day on the river

River settled down since recent floods but still running fast. 6 Grayling caught during 4 hours fishing all on the lower beat. All fish caught tight line nymphing. 2 lovely sized fish. KM
