Hot and muggy during the day cloudy and breezy later. Plenty of fly life but no real rise until dusk. Most fish small and taken on nymph. 4 better fish on dry at dusk but nothing of note.

Great to be back on the river, wasn't as easy as expected, but happy with the barbel. Best was 9lb 8oz, best chub about 3lb, but a very enjoyable day.

River slightly up on normal summer levels. Fish caught on feeder and float tactics with float being the most successful. Canoe traffic not too bad and all respectful. Thanks WUF .

Very warm day and river dropping. Glen was on hand with good advice as before, but we struggled to find feeding fish.
One 8 lb barbel landed at the bottom of the beat near the Lugg, and chub found almost at the top in clear runs in the streamer weed. A good number of salmon seen through out the day. Thanks again to Glen a great day

Despite the good weather - low water - little or no hatch (few BWO). Missed hatch on arrival 1045. Nice pool beyond double bridge and took two rising trout on Adams K. Nice beat and maintained

Had the most wonderful day's fishing but it was so hot during the heat of the day and all fish to early morning and late afternoon/early evening. Persisted with pellet (probably for too long), eventually giving up and trying rolling meat to no avail. Then tried rolling cheese and caught all fish on this method even the barbel. Biggest chub 5lb, and biggest barbel 11lb.
