Fantastic conditions quite a good number of fishing showing in the slower water. All fishing taken on nymphs apart from one on a dry.

Our first time on this beat, so decided to split up with RW taking the roving approach covering the top end of the beat, and RB going for the static approach at the lower end. The deeper water towards the top end of the first field proved the most productive, where RB caught the 2 barbel. A beautiful mild day in stunning surroundings made all the more enjoyable.

2 Barbel, 2 Chub

Nice, quite clear water. Most of bites happened from half an hour before the sunset to an hour after.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

Half days fishing in bright sunny windy conditions just one take didn't land the fish very quiet no activity.

Bank fly from south east bank and west of dam. Intermediate line various wet flies no luck!

Fished from 11.30am to 6.15pm. Water temp 5.5c, air temp 15c, bright sunny day, wind SW, just a tinge of colour in the water. All fish taken on a hair-rig bunch of red maggots with halibut feeder from The Barr & Froth Hole.
Only got to fish the field adjacent to the playing field. Will have to explore the field beyond the woods next time. What a start to the weekend, onto Sugwas Court tomorrow.

2 Barbel, 4 Chub

Not our usual success apparently the river had some snow melt.... 1 barbel only. The salmon anglers had a 15 pound sea liced salmon opposite very friendly bunch! We enjoyed our day thanks...

River was running clear, so decided to fish for chub. Bright sunny day only had 2 chub between us on cheese paste.

2 Chub

Extremely slow fishing. One rod maggots, two chub, one rod pellet, one chub. Lost a barbel late on. River was in fine trim but a little concerned there were no small dace?
Fished Kerne Bridge next day was even slower. So all told disappointing two days fishing.

3 Chub
