Water temp 23.4 at 0800. The swim most likely had already been taken so settled in below the bridge. Very low with a slightly deeper channel halfway across. Had 4 chub fishing a half ounce bomb and double 8mm over loose fed pellet. Packed at 1400 as temp approached 25.

4 Chub

Beautiful beat with the air temperature high hatches were non existent until later in the day the morning was hard work but still managed 9 blind to dries. Once temperatures cooled took the remainder of the fish mainly to dries but some to nymphs but a great day all fish returned and wet wading the order of the day

Hooked in to 1 barbel but it threw the hook , fished running cage feeder hemp + hali ground bait 10mm halibut pellet . Only had one other bite fished 5am - 10am.

Fished in the woods and decided to fish on the float and not ledger at all. I guessed I would stop fishing early afternoon given the water temperature was rising through the day and had gone above 25 at Holme Lacy Bridge the previous day. I fished for chub and thats what I got. I didn't want to target the barbel in the very hot water conditions. As it happens the water temperature was just slightly under 25 when I packed up at 1pm and by then I was too hot and needed a rest from the constant activity!

38 Chub

Other were 2 Dace and 1 bleak, all caught early morning as sun rose, on the float, all gone quiet by 7am so packed up about 8am

8 Chub, 3 Other

Not a bite for six anglers, river low and hot, beats stated that could be fished were mainly in accessible, access to beats 5 and 6 was not available as per map and stopped by local resident Yvonne. Personally would not recommend fishing this beat again

Welcome summer, 1000 degrees at the bank, no shade, back at the pub for 11.30.

3 Chub

Despite the bright sun and low wind there were fish rising when I walked up there so I fished dries for most of the day. Lost one at the net and missed a couple of takes on an irresistible Adams. Changed to wets on a fast glass for the last hour and had a brown about 1/2lb quite quickly on a Kate McLaren. Beautiful spot.
