Good day. Was going to be a short session so decided not to move about and trust that the fish would find me. Weather was grey but comfortable and river carrying a little water and plant debris. Stuck with feeder and pellets and had a few bites spread over the session. Again a warning to visitors - access through the farm to the river requires opening and closing two gates and a clipped electric fence and the area can be muddy so be prepared with wellies and some protection for your car footwell otherwise you'll coat the pedals and mats with a heady mix of liquid mud and cow s**t.

Only caught 1 small perch. The water was a little shallow and we didn't see much activity. We were trotting maggots.
Gaining access to the water was hampered in the northerly direction by live electrical fencing which made getting to the river difficult. It was better in the southerly direction and there were less brambles and other vegetation blocking access to the river from the bank.

River very high, lost a barbel at about 3.30. Then just as it was getting dark caught two. The first one about 5lb. The second was a pb of 7lb 15oz. Used feeder with halibut pellet. Most enjoyable day, even if the weather was cold and windy.

An enjoyable day's fishing on this beautiful beat, in bright sunshine. Bites few and far between but two grayling caught on trotted maggot, one 13oz / 12", one c8ozs. My companion persevered with the top weirpool all session but had only one trout of c6ozs to show for his efforts.
