10lb coloured hen fish caught on a snaelda.

1 Salmon

3pm to 6.30pm, rain ceased. Wading and trotting maggot on Lower Courtfield just below little willow. 3 chub in the 2 to 3lb range and at dusk a further chub weighed at 5lb 10oz. Thats 3 chub this season from that swim just short of my target 6lb. Disturbed a smelly dog fox with one of this years release of pheasant in its jaws that hampered its flight up the steel steps. With black mink in area I will put back the electric on fence around our chickens and ducks!

4 Chub

Cold and gusty north-easterly. River around 1 ft and decent visibility. Bright to start with but clouded over in the late morning. Lost a small red fish in the Stones in the afternoon, then landed a coloured 14 lb fish in the Island.
No fish seen all day. Mink hunting the far bank at the Vanstone.

Blank. A big blustery downstream wind, rain after lunch and just over a foot on the gauge. Conditions looked OK, but fished hard until dusk without a take (but I see another rod was successful at the top end)

Slow start with the first fish not caught until 1.30pm. Last 15 minutes of the day produced the best barbel of 10lbs 8ozs and the best chub of 4lbs 14ozs.

Water falling & clearing . Activity lasted for some 2hours around mid day , during which time we caught 3 barbel & two chub. In spite of fishing on until the light started to fade we had no further interest .

First visit to this water. Walked the fishery, but water a bit low for most of middle stretch - ended up with all of us fishing the swims below Boys Rock, they looked great but nothing feeding, even at dusk. The solitary fish taken was shortly after we arrived, and that was it.
