Tough gig on the water today. Very hard access and difficulty wadding due to weather over the past few days that have made loads of trees fall into the water.

Few bites on nymph but not a single catch

2 chub caught on feeder fished groundbait and pellet and small chub caught on float fished maggot. Very quiet fishing but a beautiful location. Powerful current and tricky holding bottom and lots of large snags.

3 Chub

Rising water, legered meat, red pellets and sweetcorn.

After this driest of summers, the irony of finding a river which, while not flooded, was coloured and pushing through when I arrived de bonne heure this morning, was not lost on me. The river continued to rise and take on more colour during the morning, making presentation difficult but, using the heaviest tungsten nymph in the box and, by searching out the quieter water, I caught a couple of trout upstream of the bridge. Nothing downstream but, after an early lunch, with the flow easing and the colour dropping out, I picked up 4 grayling, on more or less consecutive casts, from upstream of the bridge from a run that I had fished, without issue, earlier in the day

Rising river with a lot of debris coming through. All anglers caught at least one barbel with the biggest being 9lb 11oz so a pleasing days work!
