A lovely stretch of river, only saw 1 fish rise but unfortunately blanked

A hot day. Barbel unhooked in the water, rested ,swam off strongly. All fish caught on Robin red pellets.
Lovely stretch and the gravel beach makes access to the river fairly easy.
Water temp 21.3c.

Nice stretch of river with lots of dog walkers during the day. All quiet at night. Lots of fish rising.

Very quiet day, had a couple of takes on emergers and parachute Adams but didn’t land them.
I found the top of the beat a bit more active, middle section was very quiet, bottom of the beat similar to the top.
Abundant insect life around 7pm onwards and things started to happen but sadly I had to leave around then. Definitely worth an evening ticket when the weather is as hot as it’s been

Two rods fished on a warm day. River at a good level and flow although a little coloured. Waded up to the top of the Island swims, bank has been eroded. A mixture float trotting and cage ledgering with meat and pellets produced 87 chub, 1 dace and with the last cast a 9lb 6oz barbel.

First time on this beat but with bright sunshine and temps. hitting 27 degrees not the best of conditions we managed to winkle out a few Chub and an Eel on meat. Directions, both written and via the video, are excellent but "Pashley's Crib" ? not strimmed ? doesn't exsist as far as I can see, don't know how old the video is.

stinking hot day....frazzled on the bankside....chub on the tip on meat....stepped up to 18mm lamprey and smoked herring pellet...caught bigger chub...then had the 3 good sized barbel.....river seemed low but probably normal for time of year.....will return after some rain....didn't really catch 200 chub but I wasn't counting... more like 20+

2 trout and one small perch caught on float and 1 trout on lure. Nice warm day with little wind, though the peace was somewhat disturbed by paddleboarders who although very polite were also very noisy
