2 Barbel, 2 Chub

Very poor access to the beat limits its potential. River was low and fish taken to pellet and feeder.

Another scorcher, started midday after a 17hr day before. BB had 6 Barbel to 8lb at end of fishery above ranunculus beds and 3 chub. I moved around and finally caught 2 barbel to 6lb and 2 chub just below the stile once the sun was off the water. Many thanks to Colin once again for his local knowledge and company and also for keeping the fishery in such good condition.
Shame about the Saga coach party in about a dozen canoes who took about 15 minutes to pass through the swim mid afternoon. Need to learn a little etiquette.
A brilliant stretch, will return next year if not before.

8 Barbel, 5 Chub

River low and clear but in one swim fish fed all day with 15 barbel landed. The other 3 guys all blanked despite trying various swims and methods.

15 Barbel

Water low and clear. Fished lower pools and caught all barbel on groundbait feeder and pellet. Chub caught on float fished corn. Caught most fish in evening. Not too many canoes. Also, must thank Don for putting us on the fish.

Rainbow trout, 1lb 4oz, caught on Spinner - gold Mepps size 0, from north shore near headland. Sunny, warm, light-moderate SW breeze.

Quiet night, some large fish showed but no pulls. Water was clear and perfect for the fly, I did however see a big fish cruising between pools with its back making a wake! I threw every thing I had at it but no joy. It wasn't put off by my wading and it kept my spirits up knowing that there are fish there.

One juvenile fish. Returned. Early morning and late evening fishing. Very enjoyable but challenging, given the hot and very bright weather conditions.

A perfect summer's day in a very beautiful spot. Hopeless for fishing.
