Fished the top half of the beat on a rising river but clarity remained good for the fly.
No salmon seen or caught but a nice day dusting off the cobwebs.

Fished with two nymphs above and below bridge, both banks. One tiny pull. Good to see slime free gravel but not much in the way of invertebrates under the stones I lifted. One LDO spotted and a few midges here and there.

fast flowing and clear conditions. good stamp of chub caught up to 5.5lb and a bonus 6lb barbel which was in great condition.

Bait was bread and maggots. Bread caught the better stamp of fish.

River was in good nick and conditions favourable for March. One other angler fishing , who had fished the fishery quite a lot.
Decent amount of swims with good variety and good accessibility. Ledger tactics with meat and maggots accounted for some nice chub but no barbel. Other were 2 great condition trout. Other angler caught about 4 or 5 chub
Arrival of bailiff with multiplier spinning outfit, spinning though my swim was a bit unusual but not totally surprising. He was a decent chap.
