Must have offended those pagan angling gods. Seven eels. Nothing but slippery eels for first five hours and three changes of swim. Finally moved downstream of the wooded area (where the pegs are way above water height at yesterday’s level -1 metre at Monmouth - and where overhanging trees make smooth casting next to impossible).
The last two hours in the meadow section led to more accurate casting and brought numerous chub and barbel bites with some decent fish landed.

It would certainly improve things if the next bank-side work team were able to take out some of the worst of the overhanging branches.
