No salmon caught or seen.

I didn’t get as far as the Hergest beat today.

Another very good day. Flow good and more or less clear water now. I caught steadily all day, half on nymphs and half - including the best of the day - on a dry. Two fish over a pound today.

First time for a while that a bad back that had precluded fishing for the last month or so had eased up AND a reasonaby stable few days (weather wise), so I toook the opportunity to visit my local wild stream beat this afternoon.

Whilst I didnt hook up, I had 5 rises to small dry flies in a couple of hours. Good to be out and mobile again.

The stream itself was reasonably clear and a nice hight compared to the last few days when fairly heavy rain had rendered it muddy

Only two of us fished today, but we had an excellent day on a falling river as we caught 12 Barbel and 6 Chub. 3 Barbel were over 9lb and 1 was over 10lb. Happy Dayz!

12 Barbel, 6 Chub

No luck with float fishing, three chub succumbed to rolling meat tactics. Fished for four hours in beautiful surroundings.

River was dropping off but Still plenty of colour and the sun was shining. Had 1 small chub and a Barbel of 3.8lb this was mid morning on feeder double krill 6mm dumbell. Nothing more until evening session where I had 2 chub biggest around 3.8lb then 2 more Barbel up to 5lb again on krill. Was hoping for another but as the river was on the way down chub was attacking the feeder which left nothing for the barbel. Still amazing day amazing settings.

The river was a foot up coloured and falling and looked perfect.we fished the swims at the top of the fishery and all caught lots of chub in the 3 to 5 lb catagory plus two eels. The barbel however were not obliging with only two between us. Overall an excellent day’s fishing in a beautiful setting.

Strong, cold downstream wind seemed to suppress the hatches. A few rising fish beneath sycamores saved the day. There are now cows, calves and a bull in the field, but they were placid enough.
