Only a small one for me, but 3 for John including a lovely 2lb fish all taken on nymph except a small chub taken on a dry.

Unusual to see tomato plants growing in the gravels above the bridge, it real has been a hot summer!!

We were on the water at first light and had 2 good barbel in the net early. However the river level rose rapidly from 17 cm to 82 cm in 5 hours from about 7.30. By 11.00 it was virtually impossible to fish - not due to the water level but the amount of weed and debris being flushed down. We packed up at about 12.30 somewhat disappointed.

3 rainbows all on traditional wet flies and 1 brown on a black hopper. Tough fishing but enjoyable.

Arrived at 3-30 river up with a good pace and colour 3 chub in the 3- 4lb range stayed until 8-15 hoping for a barbel but it was not to be,groundbait feeder with hemp and pellets and meat on the hook accounted for all fish.

River conditions were terrible, started off quite clear for the first half an hour and then the water went chocolate brown, the level went up about a foot and then weeds, bushes, branches, logs and trees came past making it impossible to fish. Must have been some serious rain up the mountains as it started flushing through all of the debris that had built up over the summer. Really disappointed that we couldn't fish after travelling over two hours to get there and spending £50- on two day tickets but nature is nature and cant be helped. Luckily we’d had three great days fishing previously so not all bad .

Lovely stretch on beat 4. River was up a metre and coloured made trotting very difficult. Most fish on a normal feeder approach with meat. Some chub caught on trotted meat

Caught 5 barbel to 9lb 7oz, all in the morning. Went quiet approaching midday. Moved around trying to locate some fish, but swims are limited and some require maintenence to be able to fish. Overall still a great day's fishing.

5 Barbel

River was rising throughout the day.
We used heavy feeders with pellets and meat.

The 2 'other' fish caught were eels.
