First time I'v seen duckweed in the margins but despite the low water level it was a pleasant day with the fish coming steadily throughout. Pellet meat and bread all took fish. The rain started at 4pm. I stuck it out for another 2 hours and headed home. The other was a decent eel of about 2lb.

Fished from 12:00-2:30pm before the forecast rain arrived. All but one fish caught on the ptn below a bushy klink. Jungle warfare tactics.....the river showing all of its bones and in desperate need of rain.

River is the lowest I've ever seen it.
Caught a barbel of around 7lb at first light. Moved to the fast water between the island and sat and watched 2 lovely barbel for a round 10 mins in an unreachable part of the flow feeding on some pellets that I sent their way.
Caught a small barbel of around 2lb in the flow before moving back past the church towards the bridge and catching a small chub of just under 2lb.
Campers were in the second field so didn't fish there like I usually would.
Wedding in the church and the only time I've ever finished early on a beat and needed to get home I got blocked in the car park. Bet they really appreciated a wet fisherman gatecrashing the after wedding drinks....

Just fished for a couple of hours in the morning. Very interesting and varied beat.

Was interesting to be able to see nearly every feature of the river bed with polaroids on when the water level is so low;Looks a different river. Was prospecting for chub ,but after 20 mins in nearly every run without a touch I put the coarse rod away & fished with a dry fly stripped through the faster water. I'm sure one of the trout was not a wild brownie ,but had all the hallmarks of a 'stockie'?
