After a night of heavy rain found conditions difficult with large rafts of weed floating down stream. No fish caught. Undeterred, will be back. Love it here.

Lots of small Chub on float with odd quality Dace. Only large Eels on the feeder. Several Salmon topping close enough to almost count the spots ! Far bank busy with anglers.

Peaceful situation despite the generator running noisily next to the parking area. Not a problem though as we fished well away from it . River low and affected by brown algae bloom and quite hot and sunny which made fishing very hard. This has always been a good beat for me but I now see that the far bank attracting more anglers than normal. This could be because the landowner allows them to drive the whole stretch and park very close to their swims nearly all of which have been well prepared with steps and flat surfaces to park their seats on! I lost count of the number of such swims available . Unfortunately , this can seriously affect the choice of a swim for any considerate Whitehouse angler . The swim we both fished was superb and oozed barbel but opposite was a well used swim . We got in first but were rather anxious when we saw to our horror someone get out of their car and look at the swim ! Fortunately, he was considerate and moved on.

An absolutely superb day on this stretch that saw 5 barbel to just shy of 9lb, as well as several eels landed. To top it all off, the highlight of the day was having some huge salmon surface right under the rod tip!
