Had a lovely morning on the river. Caught 3 Chub, biggest was about 4/5 lb. Never caught this species before so was delighted. Fished 07:00-14:00, all fish caught within first couple of hours. Heavens opened after that and killed the fishing. Hope to come back to get amongst the Barbel another time. If fishing the stretch for the first time, I’d advise entering the second beat by the toll bridge. I found beat 1 and 3 very hard to find/access. Thanks Terry!!!

Slow day in good weather with all fish caught before 4.30pm although we stayed till after dark in the same swim which was lively the day before. There were many canoes which is unusual for this beat, and we had noticed that the opposite bank was being prepared for something, which turned out to be canoeists camping, so they were arriving until after dark, dragging their canoes up the bank and very noisily setting up camp. We also witnessed (illegal?) hunting, starting around 6.30pm with about 20 hounds who also went into the water opposite us during their pursuit of the fox, which we saw running along the far bank. The hunt was accompanied by much horn blowing, shouting and yelping of dogs, which continued for at least couple of hours, so unsurprising that we caught nothing into the evening.

Excellent days' fishing, really came to life after about 3pm and really active as dusk fell.

Three hours in intense heat on Wednesday (changed the day with Terry's approval). Plenty of fish surfacing but only one chub 4.5Lbs caught on pellet with swim feeder.

Arrived early pm in 31 degrees of heat with river very low. Went to a previously productive swim (last year) but no signs of life except numerous tiny chub and one chub of about 3lb. Thunderstorm and rain started early afternoon and we gave up about 7.30pm with no further activity.
