Slow going today. Started at 8am and fished 6 swims along the length of the beat with zero bites. Finally connected with a fish at 3pm.

Unfortunately, we had to leave after 1 hour. Our driver had a home emergency and we were 2plus hours from home. Fortunately, our previous 2 days produced on other beats proved successful.

Most fish caught in the final hour before it got dark. Barbel caught on pellet.

after several 9lb fish this year it was great to finally get a double -10lb 6. i was happily picking off chub trotting a small lump of meat along crease line in the swims in the woods when i hit the barbel right and the end of the run. with a size 14 hook and 5lb hook length it took me a while to coax it to the net. feeder was hard work with all the debris coming down and too much pace on the water to fish up by the lucky stone.

Hard going and a beat that most definetly requires studded soles (which I didn’t have) managed 2 Grayling, one small and one of around 12-13 inch, also an out of season trout which was released very quickly with almost no handling. All caught on a pink hothead nymph.
