Just a quick session on the likely trouty places on the Pinsley , headed down there at half five before the sun poked its head out !!! Was a lovely fresh morning and although severely like a jungle on two beats of the Pinsley , was still really pleasant being down there , and fished from near six till just gone eight . . . .

I did notice a couple of rises in the ever narrowing channel of the Brook , so rigged up the two weight six foot rod with a tiny Parachute Adams , and after some careful manouvering and very unconventional casting . . . . Did have a little cracker on , always go ballistic here in the narrow channel but great fun , about nine inches maybe . . .

Moving along to other areas that have produced before , I managed another little brownie , splashy little take , ditto in size great condition , quickly admired then a splashy goodbye and he was away !!!!

A fun couple of hours , still a reasonable flow considering , think the downpour other night helped , although could have done with a few more hours rain , great fun and a nice start to the day before breakfast !!!!!!!!!!!

Tough day a lot of weed to deal with. lost one within half hour of being there. Then nothing for hours. Had a small barbel about 2lb feeder fishing. Then decided to trott bread on the surface and had 2 chub within 15 mins.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Only fished for a short period today. Water low and weather sunny. No bites from a couple of swims.

fished pegs by the steps, started at 3pm with intention of fishing until dark. Better conditions with it cooler and plenty of cloud cover. Caught sporadically through the afternoon but expected sport to improve later - it became slower the later it got. Caught on 8mm pellets on feeder

A cooler day at last. River looking good although very low. All barbel came from 6 pm onwards on feeder tactics

All fish taken trotting the faster water on sweet corn. Barbel from 1lb to 8lb 2oz and all in pristine condition. A few small chub and dace early on.
Sadly no access for wading as described in the venue details on the website.
