2 Barbel, 1 Chub

River low and clear. Started fishing around 8am and netted a barbel around 5lb on my 2nd cast. A busy day then ensued with lots of knocks with the odd strikable bite.

Finished the day with 3 barbel, the biggest felt 10lb plus but I'd left my scales at home, and 17 chub, the biggest around 4lb. Still going strong at 3.30pm when i had to head home. All fish taken on luncheon meat on feeder in the wooded section.

A thoroughly enjoyable day.

Fished 3 hours in the morning in the woods area and caught an eel on pellet. Then 3 hours in the evening in the meadow with no result :/ Bright sunny conditions all day, with normal summer river levels. Tons of flies in the meadow section in the evening.

Amazing days fishing. Glorious weather but the river was very low, lots of streamer weed and many swimmers, kayakers and walkers! We caught steadily throughout the day, even in bright sunshine, with biggest barbel weighing 8lb and chub to 3lb all on the stickfloat.

Did hook a raindow trout but unhooked itself before i coukd net it. Was about 20inchs long.

A tough day in the sun and low water but my 12 year old son managed to catch a 6 inch trout on a PTN. He was absolutely delighted as this was his first truly wild trout.

Some trout and shad but no Samon. 1 bite but hook out... two salmon was jumping in the pool, too low water than I thought.

Caught two decent sized trout on a black gnat and a yellow may dun. Water was a good depth and exceptionally clear, but a great deal of algae making the bottom of the beat incredibly slippy. Looks like there was a run off of farm 'waste' there too (I took photos).

Evening start at about 6pm. A few small fish rising in the very clear a low water. Sat on the bank and watched a few small part chase nymphs around the shallows, showing there silver flanks as they turn in and out. Decided to fish long leader with lightly weighted nymphs in the faster water and caught three smallish fish of between 7" and 10". Then plenty of missed takes that kept the interest level up. Around 8ish the bwo spinner fall began and the bigger fish started to show. After missing about 5 fish from the same pool I moved to find a solitary rising fish dead centre of a run. Initially I assumed it being another small fish until my semi circle spinner floated over it with my first cast and "BOOM" It took of full throttle up stream and screaming line. My three wt rod took a hammering for about 15 mins until I slipped my net under a very plump and firm 18" full finned fish. after I returned it still full fit I took another a few yards up, but about 8" smaller. Great evening
