One small grayling.

Last attempt at a salmon for this season. Mainly fished the lower end of the beat. Conditions looked good and several salmon showed. Alas another blank. Roll on next season.

Had two smallish pike. Didn't bother to weigh but both less than 10lb. Missed a strike from a bigger fish.

River running very fast and coloured. Caught 2 barbel and 6 chub, the conditions... weather was not ideal, i.e. raining on and off and windy, but we both still enjoyed the day.

Fished bottom end, water high with a lot of colour, 1 barbel & 1 chub.

Took a gamble with the river being high but well worth the effort. If I didn't know the beat as well as I do, I'd never have got in the river. But after carefully positioning myself on the shelf, I fished the shallow water under the trees as the gutter was unfishable. Proved the right move with plenty of fish were there avoiding the fast flow. Took some lovely Grayling to 16 inches and a number of trout similar size who clearly did not know what the date was! Testing, but enjoyable days fishing.

River was still high but pretty clear. Worked hard to little avail. Very strong wind and falling barometer. Beautiful water, we'll definitely be back.

Beautiful stretch, challenging water conditions with the river high and coloured, difficult to present bait effectively as a result. Lost a large fish in the stretch before the wooded section early on, then settled into the pump pool for the afternoon. We took 5 barbel in total which we were pleased with given the water conditions. Largest was about 7lb. Hooked something which took off like a rocket and bent my hook out. Can only imagine it was the elusive double.
