Another stonkingly hot day but managed 4 barbel 6lbs to 8lbs and 8 chub up to 3.5lbs. A switch to meat produced numerous eels up to about 2lbs.

Hottest day of the year. Caught at between 0930 and 1030, thereafter with sun blazing down no further action. Packed up at lunchtime for a much needed drink and returned for the evening. Not a thing. Just too hot i think.

River very low indeed. Fished 1830-2030. But the sun came out as I hit the river, and was right in my eyes in nearly every run. Fished a mayfly and para Adams, and though I got a few rises I didn't hook any. Plenty of tly about, and a good number of smaller fish rising.

Beautiful stretch of river. Easy access and local camp manager 'Oakes' a gentleman! Fished from 10 - 15:00. Weather hot, little breeze and sunny. Water low. First cast with Iron blue 16 to sipping trout and took two nice trout - 8"/12". Then went quite. Tried washing line of nymphs with variations - to no avail - even saw fish follow, pluck and refuse. Early afternoon saw hatch of BWO/Pale wateries. Remaining fish came to BWO/Olive quill, and Adams K. Also, failed to net a handful of trout for diffeeent reasons - one being that my hook knot failed - complacency!
