Enjoyable day at the ‘Lucky Stone’ after navigating the precipitous path through the woods. River still very low but flow and pace through the river was very manageable. Circa 45 chub up to 4.5lbs. Catching from arrival to departure on a variety of baits including corn, meat and krill pellets but alas no Barbel to show for our endeavours.

Only fished for a couple of hours, in the afternoon, more in hope than in expectation due to the lack of rain for the last 6 weeks. River was indeed low with little flown- hopefully the rains forecast for this week will actually occur and improve both water temperature and flow. The only fish seen were fry, and the only interest that I could muster was from fish too small to take my size 20 tupps fished dry.

A nice 2lb rainbow between 4 of us and 1 bite , not a lot happening up there water was low , was told 500 released last week but people are struggling to catch anything here at the moment

Fantastic days fishing, 6 Chub with biggest at 4.5lbs and 3 Barbel two 5lbs and one 9.2lbs, the other was a small Eel. River was vibrant with canoes, paddle boards and swimmers, which killed the fishing midday and afternoon. Recommend early fishing!

Thank you to the two members that provided some entertaining and insightful discussions.

The fish were queuing up in the fast water but we couldn't get there until late on when the other bank anglers left. When they finally did we caught a few but the barbel had had a pasting all day from 2 guys who were catching a fish a chuck on the float and all big ones too, 7 pounds plus some of them. Pellet and meat both caught. Canoes were a nightmare until the afternoon but I managed to only hook one that snapped me up after a decent run.
