Fished from 08:00-14:00. Three anglers fished today and split the water evenly.

Fishing was slower early on in the shaded sections (possibly now insect activity because of cooler temps). Took fish on dry and dropper rigs throughout the day (the odd double nymph when the water was deep enough).

Fish responded well to shuttle-cock style dries (emergers) and natural cdc collar nymphs. 2.5mm beads worked well.

Average size was about 18cm. Some larger fish (25-35cm) taken but no real brutes this time.

River was up slightly from lowest summer levels, slightly coloured. Quite warm and sunny most of the day with some cloud in the morning when most of the chub were caught. Chub caught on float fished meat at the top end in the rocky pool and immediately downstream in the faster water. Fished prebaited swims about half way along the beat in the afternoon. 3 swims produced nothing but the 4th produced an immediate bite and a welcome 5lb barbel from the fastest water. Had to leave early so will be back for those barbel.
