Very pleasant couple of hours on the bank 100m below the wood accompanied by the Memsahib which is a rarity. Chub between the lines of weed and taken on spam & floated bread crust. Two went straight for the weeds but were. extricated with full use of the waders.All very strong ,healthy looking fish. A pint & G&T in the garden of the Green Man afterwards rounded off the afternoon where I was able to explain the finer details of carp fishing & quarry size to my better half;She was either deeply enthralled or texting someone under the table...I don't know which?

A very tough day on this beat. Water was, as expected, very low and with the sun out overhead and lots of weed coming through it was not possible to fish the usual areas. We did manage to find some fish but conditions meant we could only catch a couple of chub.

no fish caught too much weed

A lot of blanket weed made it hard work. Corn was the best bait.

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

horrendous weed and silk weed masking the bait ,we packed up after 2 hours as it was impossible to fish

2 Barbel, 9 Chub

Second day on the Edw. Stayed at the Hundred House Pub last night. Nice pint of Butty, a simple steak, a comfy bed and busy with holiday makers come in from the rain. The continued rain during the day on Sunday raised and coloured the river by afternoon. Another good day of sport, and today I got some bigger fish on with at least 5 at 12" and fat.
The Hergest beat seems to have had some clearing done in recent months (WUF?) and a lot of bank side growth has been pushed back. This beat is a favourite of mine and it felt quite different with some pools changing character quite a lot (for the better generally I guess).

Tough going today, although managed to find a few grayling lying in a deep run late in the afternoon.
4 trout circa 8 inches. 6 grayling two of which were around 18 inches.
