A few knocks from suspected chub but no fish landed.

A hard days fishing with little sign of activity. One rainbow approx. 3lbs caught on intermediate line and black viva. Litter still a problem.

Fished up stream pegs and I caught steady all day. Brilliant days fishing with 12 barbel and 8 chub. Nick fished just up from me and had 3 barbel out. Lee didn't turn up till 2 in the afternoon he had 2 chub. Defo coming back to this beat.

15 Barbel, 10 Chub

River really low and clear. No real hatch and the only fish rising were fingerings. None of the fish caught were greater than 6/7", but still an enjoyable day.
Thanks to all at W & U, and the fishery owner.

2 Trout, 13 Grayling

Morning was difficult with down stream/cross river wind that always seemed to blow as I was about to cast. Started by the hut, but no joy and no sign of fish rising. Headed down to the bottom of the beat by the bridge and had a 12" trout from there. Tried all the usual places on the way up river but only managed 15" Grayling from the pool down from the hut.
After a break for lunch again fished through the pool by the hut and nothing going. Repeated my steps from the morning and headed to the bottom of the beat. By now cloud had set in but luckily the wind had died down.
Fished differently this time and had more success. 2 Brown Trout (best 15", though skinny), 1 8" Grayling and a Salmon Parr enjoyed grabbing a skating fly in the fast water.
Nothing else until I again ended up in the pool below the hut. Have had nice fish from this run before, but wading is somewhat difficult with flat rocks that can be very slippery and the fast water makes seeing your feet difficult. Didn't see the fish take the fly, just heard it. Almighty splash and the line went tight. Took a good few minutes to get the fish to hand, a fat 18" Grayling. Wondered up back to the hut and thought I would give it one more chuck there as it is unusual to not catch from this pool. Nothing rising at all but managed to find one 8" Grayling who was looking skywards. All fish caught on various sizes of Parachute Adams. Two Salmon seen in the very top pool. Fantastic day out as always, thank you WUF!!
Note for WUF - booked two rods but second could not make it last minute so only 1 rod fished.
