Fished by Boy's Rock (back eddy gave problems) and then next swim down for 7 hrs without a bite - and then had an 8lb barbel on halibut pellet. Well worth the wait! Several salmon seen jumping out - the crash does keep you awake!

1 Barbel

Worm on the bottom.

Fishing conditions not perfect with very little fish activity throughout daylight hours. Majority of fish caught as light began to fade into evening. Fished feeder tactics using boilies and pellets as hook bait.

8 Barbel, 7 Chub

Nil fish caught. Target was trout and as we were from South Africa, we could well have been using wrong fly patterns! Lovely water and Lake. We shall be back sometime next year.
We used fly rods, and tried spinning as well.

Good day, shared the beat with another senior angler....we were both disturbed by a couple of fishing youths who clearly had taken an opportune moment to try a spot of spinning without authority. My counterpart's challenge was enough to see them move on. Nonetheless, fishing was not unduly affected. 6 grayling and an out of season trout was my bag, all taken on red tag/zulu and returned safely. Water in excellent condition.

I arrived on a misty morning and witnessed a stunning sunrise. I then had a trout first cast on leggered worm and thought that I would be in for a good day. But that was the last of the action until I packed up at 11am. I collected yet another bag of litter from around where I was fishing and passed this to the bailiffs for disposal. I noticed about 6 dead perch either floating in the water or stamped on the bank. I guess the so called "anglers" were disappointed not to catch a trout and killed the perch in anger.

Bead head and traditional spiders accounted for all fish. Plenty of surface activity too but had no dries with me to take advantage.
