I could only get there after 5pm and found the water a bit murky after the rain of the last 24 hours, decided to therefore try some brighter patterns but soon changed to dry flies as I noticed fish surface feeding. After 8pm the fish really started feeding in a frenzy and would bite at anything I floated past them. This was most productive in the slower moving pools which were about 2 foot deep. I left at 9pm but the fish were still at it.

Water very low but chub were obliging in one of the more downstream swims. Access not great however, a fair few swims on a very steep bank. Grippy footwear and a bank stick a must!

Fished the top two swims without success, then the concrete wharf, which also proved fruitless.
Managed to find the Chub on the beach, albeit they continued to behave skittishly. Finally, encouraged a little activity from the croy.
More fish were caught on sweetcorn and luncheon meat than were caught on pellet and boilie.
Some work on the bank and some roping would prove beneficial as there were only six accessible swims.

River was coloured but saw some salmon breaching the water but couldn’t buy a fish to take a fly.
