Bright and warm: water 18 deg C by 10am, 20 deg C by 2pm. Consequently much more casting practice than fishing with the double hander (sans fly - which was pretty much the plan anyway!), but nice to be out on a proper big river, and see some of the pool structure at low flows for future visits. Friendly family camping in the meadow on the true left bank.

Fished afternoon and evening. Tried trotting and wading to no avail. Thinking conditions against me ,thought Id scope out the layout of river for future visits, started to walk the length of river up from beach. Half way up looked down a couldnt believe my eyes , a shoal of barbel at my feet all coming in and out of a deep spot and overhanging tree. Watched in awe as they glided between each other. Beat a quick retreat, grabbed my gear..... fed heavy for an hour and rolling meat ...... it's easy when you know where they are!!!!

6 Barbel

I had forgotten that I had fished this stretch some years ago and didnt like it. Very few accessible swims , constant armadas of canoeists , a bad choice.

Two of us fished for about 5 hours and caught some amazing 40+ cm graying and a few pound+ trout.
More than enough river for a long weekend
