Really quiet day fishing. Over 10 hours with two fishing and only 2 fish caught.

2 Trout

Unfortunately, the trout weren't biting. It was probably too hot. But we caught about a dozen perch.

10 Other

A second great day the wading is a little more challenging but worth the effort fish came to a mix of dries and nymphs. The heat still making the fishing challenging duing the high of the day hatches coming off in the evening far better

12 Trout, 15 Grayling

5 Grayling

Water temp 23.4 at 0800. The swim most likely had already been taken so settled in below the bridge. Very low with a slightly deeper channel halfway across. Had 4 chub fishing a half ounce bomb and double 8mm over loose fed pellet. Packed at 1400 as temp approached 25.

4 Chub

Beautiful beat with the air temperature high hatches were non existent until later in the day the morning was hard work but still managed 9 blind to dries. Once temperatures cooled took the remainder of the fish mainly to dries but some to nymphs but a great day all fish returned and wet wading the order of the day

Hooked in to 1 barbel but it threw the hook , fished running cage feeder hemp + hali ground bait 10mm halibut pellet . Only had one other bite fished 5am - 10am.

Fished in the woods and decided to fish on the float and not ledger at all. I guessed I would stop fishing early afternoon given the water temperature was rising through the day and had gone above 25 at Holme Lacy Bridge the previous day. I fished for chub and thats what I got. I didn't want to target the barbel in the very hot water conditions. As it happens the water temperature was just slightly under 25 when I packed up at 1pm and by then I was too hot and needed a rest from the constant activity!

38 Chub

Other were 2 Dace and 1 bleak, all caught early morning as sun rose, on the float, all gone quiet by 7am so packed up about 8am

8 Chub, 3 Other
