3 trout caught, one on a brown Klinkhamer and the other two on a Coch-Y-Bondhu.

Delayed departure from SW London meant I didn't get started until 3pm. A few fish rising but managed only a single fish, about 3/4lb, which was returned, on a black gnat .

I have not fished this beat before and found access tricky, possibly because the water level seemed to be high making it difficult to move upstream . I couldn't work out how to fish the upper part of the beat due to the combination of barbed wire and deep water.

River still well up after last week's spate. Weather bright. Started fishing soon after 2.00 pm and had four barbel (and lost two) in the first three hours. It was quiet for the next hour and I was about to move to another swim when I caught another fish, so I stayed where I was. Probably a mistake as nothing else before darkness fell. All on pellet and feeder.

River much lower than yesterday but still pretty tough. Highlight of the day was a fantastic barbel of 10lb 5oz caught from the lower field. 8mm meat boilie fished on a very long leader under overhanging trees did the trick. Other than that we had a good batch of chub with the biggest at 5lb 2oz. All fish in mint condition.

1 Barbel, 8 Chub

High water impeded access, look to return another time. Nil return.
