Fished the waggler all day , no fish seen or caught

A little slower than yesterday but another very pleasant day with the river continuing to fall and beginning to clear. 1 barbel of 8.5 lbs, the other 2 about 4.5 lbs.

River high and coloured, very fast flow. Blanks evening session.

River high up on normal summer level and fishing very tough. Only one barbel to KB and a wye blank for me. Court field can be a great if not frustrating section at times.

River level meant no fishing for me today !

Spinning high and coloured water (2 ft 9ins slowly falling to 2ft 6 inches). NTR

River was brown but fining from flood. This is a lovely stretch of river, but challenging fishing, with lots of overhanging trees and roots underwater. It's a pretty small stream on this beat. Caught four on the duo (nymph and dry fly), lost several more, and missed many takes. Best fish was around 25cm, but lost a larger one that dived into a tangle of roots. Take a good stock of your favourite flies, as the trees will eat them!

Only fished the top and the bottom ends of the beat, for around an hour. Water was brown and fining from flood. The top part of the beat is very challenging, as it is severely overhung with trees. Caught two on the duo (nymph and dry fly), lost a couple more, and missed a few takes. One was 30cm, a really nice fish. The bottom end is slightly more open and has some lovely pools - shame I didn't spend a bit a bit more time here. The farmer hasn't been super kind to fishermen with the fences along this beat.
