Loads of barbel in the shallows but hard to catch. Had one on feeder and a stack of chub and dace on the float. Weed coming back and beat looks great. The walk across the field was fine, could push a barrow if needed no probs.

River is in poor condition, full of algae and sewage waste. Shame for what seems a lovely stretch of river.

Caught two small Perch and returned them. Used a single worm, legering.

Fished 12-9pm. Sporadic rises early afternoon and fish extremely wary. Long stretches of the river very shallow and seemed mostly devoid of activity. Found some groups of fish in some deeper glides under trees and the river came alive from 6pm onwards. Hatches of blue winged olive and some brook dun. Fish seemed to be mostly taking small stuff / emergers, but tempted several on small cdc Emerger patterns.

The river was very low and clear and needs a good flush through. However, we fished from dawn until dusk and caught most of our fish from the fast water at the bottom of the beat at dusk. Exciting stuff, touch-ledgering whilst standing in the river and the fish looked very healthy and certainly fought well. Thanks W&UF.
