Tough day in what seemed like ideal conditions with fairly coloured water, which was slowly dropping. Fished the top end, with only 1 barbel to show for our efforts.

Five small grayling. The river is really clear at the moment and fairly low despite some recent rain

5 Grayling

Great location water was high due to the rain and very coloured lost a fish while spinning near the bridge late afternoon.

River looked perfect with extra water and colour a barbel anglers dream, though it was very cold water which made the fish reluctant to feed, we did mange to catch a few barbel .

Fished from 8am till 5pm and not a bite all day, been over there most weekends from June and every time it's been shocking. Everyone I've spoken to over there also complains about the lake not being stocked enough, think it's time to look for a new place to fish.

Great to be back in an area I know well from my younger days when I was a mountain bike guide in the hills and a competitor in the Man V Horse race. First time on this beat which was carrying a lot of water after heavy rain but most of the middle section was fishable with both nymphs and dries taking fish. Nothing big , up to 13", but all in good condition. When returning to the tail of a pool where I spotted a good sized Trout earlier I came across a young farmer lad and his girlfriend worming ( fishing that is ) the dilemma was do I ask them to leave, or knowing there is not much to do for youngsters in this area ignore it and and move on. This time I did the latter but the Colonel should be informed, We all had to start our fishing career somewhere.
