Very little life to see.

A clear, sunny day, the river was quite low and very busy with many canoes and some swimmers. Using meat produced eels and several chub to 4lb. One barbel around 8lb. on feeder and pellet.

Decent evening session, managed 1 barbel 3 chub between us and also lost 2 barbel in the first upstream swim.

River in perfect condition; sunny periods with a brisk breeze which swung from upstream to downstream over the course of the afternoon. Occasion olive coming off but the martins were high - feeding on terrestrials. Fished from 2pm. PTN on the edge of the fast water. Tried the pools but no sign of any activity. Two fish in rapid succession from the top of the beat

Reservoir is like a bath. No fish. Disappointing

Getting down to the river is a bit of a nightmare on this beat. Lovely water though once you’ve scrambled through the undergrowth! A 2 pounder saved the evening.

Great access - thanks owner to the 3 or 4 swims easily accessible. River though clear had a brown stained appearance - algae? Couldnt see the weed but caught up with lots of bright green weed on the hook - good sign.

Chub to mainly meat feeder(one on pellet) with some on the float - the biggest to 5lb on stick float and tare over hemp loose feed. Late barbel - about 7lb and in pristine condition to meat feeder. Left about 4 as pub beckoned after a hot day. Must try the evening sometime.
Other fish were small chub, dace and huge bleak on tare or corn.
