Arrived to the river to find it up a foot and nicely coloured. Started off on pellet and bomb and needed to up the lead size to account for the amount of debris being washed down the river. Had 5 barbel in quick succession then steadily picked a few off before leaving at 5pm. We were lucky to miss the rain as the wind almost caused inside-out brollys a couple of times before we gave them up as a bad job.

The river dropped about 3inches in the time we were there and had we not had to leave early then I'm sure we would have had a good few more fish.

Please add this to my previous catch return:

Also, to the angler who was fishing the steps below the church - thanks very much for leaving what looked like a full bag of pellets, sweetcorn and also maggots 'tut tut'. The WUF documents clearly state that maggots etc cannot be used until September but I have seen reports of people using these in recent weeks (one very recently on How Caple Court). I don't understand why people cannot abide by the rules - they are there for a reason...

We also picked up the litter you had left...

2 small chub caught on pellet. Water colour and height increasing throughout morning. Lots of flow and weed washing down made fishing tricky.

Water at a good height and fished well but despite using floating,intermediate & sinking line tactics ,did not touch a thing nor did I see any fish moving unfortunately.Late afternoon changed to trout rod so that I could at least feel something on the end of the line.One trout of just over a pound & broken by a bigger fish late on.Path to the top of the beat was a pleasure having been recently strimmed;Beware the wasp's nest in the hollow tree trunk 1/3rd. of the way up,it's just at head height.I always enjoy this beat as the runs last forever & are rel. easy wading. Oh well maybe next time.
