River still up a bit and really zipping through on this beat but the clarity was still quite good. All fish caught nymphing using various methods. The bottom section was a lot easier to fish than the top, as it was just a little too deep to get out into the river. Grayling to 14"( half were over 12") and trout to 10" plus several parr that I didn't count.

8 Trout, 12 Grayling

It was a shock to see that the river level had risen considerably overnight as there had been very little rain locally. Weather humid, water coloured and fast flowing, but without the barrage of debris that we experienced on Monday. All fish caught on pellet and included 2 barbel doubles (10.7 and 10.2) and chub to 4.6. One of our contingent (Chris) accounted for all of the fish except the 10.2.-what a day for the boy!

10 Barbel, 3 Chub

Great days fishing on a perfect looking river. Although the weather was hot and sunny this did not put the fish off with bites and fish coming regularly throughout the day.
We all used the same method (feeder with hemp and pellet) and various types of pellet on the hook. Most popular on the day was spicy sausage they accounted for 3 of the 6 Barbel caught and both Chub. I hope to return to this picturesque stretch one day as I know now where to find the fish and at what distance they are, I feel I will catch a few more.

6 Barbel, 2 Chub

We parked by the river near the pump which was running. We had a long walk to the top end of the fishery there are few swims but there are some. David caught a chublet to start on maggot followed by a nice 9lb Barbel on hair rigged sweetcorn. The a whopping 7lb Chub came to his net using spiced luncheon meat this time.
Colin could only manage a Chublet to maggot and two 31b Chub to luncheon meat.
Thanks Wye and Usk.
