A wonderful evenings fishing despite the hot weather. Avoided the heat of the day and started at 3pm. A large 7lbs 10 Barbel second cast set the scene and 3 more followed all around the 6lb mark, all to ledgered offerings. Thank you for the strimming - very much appreciated for preventing nettle stings on bare legs!

2 carried on fishing from the day before.
A few chub in the morning but came home mid afternoon due to the heat and the lack of swims that were available (overgrown / very steep).
As mentioned in yesterdays report, i really think this stretch could do with a bit of maintenance. None of the swims have been cut out in any way & for £25 per day, we expected better fishing conditions.

I love this venue. Not too far to yomp from car to swim and a lovely stretch of water. Winkled out 2 small barbel (about 4.5 pounds) and a 3 pound chub from the upper section.

Very windy and hot and the river running crystal clear. Little surface activity and where there was the fish were very easily spooked.

The two barbel were 5lbs and just over 3lbs and caught in the upper pool on consecutive casts on rolling meat early in the morning. A 2lb chub also followed in quick succession before the sun came out and it got too bright. Moving down river to the next pool gave 2 more chub on meat. Then moved onto the lower pool where 1 more chub was caught. A good day overall but some big gaps between fish.

A frustrating mornings fishing - could not get to the water, bar one small part, which I waded across to the other side. River edges completely over grown! Water low. Walked the whole beat and just could not find a place to get to the water.
