River quite low and clear but rained all day which probably explained the lack of canoes! A lovely place to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery in spite of the rain. A short stretch of river but enough for 2 anglers to share. Had 3 nice chub up to just under 4lb from the deeper pool at the bottom of the fishery on the left bank, and 3 chub averaging 2-3lb and a small barbel of 4lb from mid-river half way along the right bank as dusk fell. Fish came to a mixture of pellet, luncheon meat or boilie fished on a straight lead.

Not our day. No fish landed unfortunately. River looked really good. Don't know what we did wrong but guess that's fishing sometimes. Spotted 2 otters along the stretch and a pair of kingfishers.
Saw plenty of Salmon jumping.

Difficult day on a low,clear river. Couple of days too early probably after rain on saturday. Never fails to impress though. Thankyou WUF.

2 fish caught near Doldowlod caravan park. Water turning colour after a morning of heavy rain. By evening the river was un-fishable. I did (with W&UF authorisation) an invertebrate sample. The river is almost devoid of life, I found a few stoneflies, segmented worms, a few small cased caddis, no up-winged flies of any kind. A really poor sample.

No action today and do you know what?... It really didn't matter, just being here it's just a privilege to on the bank of this glorious river thank you WUF.

A pleasant few hours on a lovely stretch of water. There was little surface activity so fished with nymphs and spiders. Most of the fish came from the faster water towards the heads of the pools.
