A hot, sunny and difficult day. Lots of weed coming through also didn’t help.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Lovely beat, great variety of scenery and the fishery manager is very friendly and helpful. Fishing the meadows area had one barbel around 6lb and a few good chub. My brother lost a barbel in the bottom pool but banked a few good chub. Stayed at the highly recommended 'The Hostelrie at Goodrich' which is well priced and extremely well placed for this fishery.

Lost a couple but river low and stained due to recent rain

2 x trout 9-14 inches, 1 x grayling 13 inches. The recent rain was enough to produce a 2 or 3 inch and very dirty rise in the water level this morning, which probably suppressed the trout and grayling activity. Good as far as it goes, but we need a lot more to flush the muck out of the river bed.

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.
