No fish caught that day,

Our favorite stretch. At least it was before removing most of the bankside trees. Preferred swims ruined. Managed two good Barbel of 9lbs and 8lbs. Improved parking next to river a great improvement.

Fished from midday to 4pm with plenty of fish rising. Mostly small 6-10 inch fish but I saw a couple of good size fish jump. I was struggling to catch until I extended my leader to around 13 foot which seemed to do the trick. I think the brightness and low water meant I kept spooking them before hand. Had I set the hook on every fish that took my fly I would have had around 8-10 but for some reason it was a day where either I wasn’t quick enough or my underpants were too tight. Who knows :)
