Fished late afternoon into evening. Lost decent barbel on final cast of the day. My first time on this beat so a learning curve but some classic barbel looking runs. It's a bit of a scramble along the bank to get down to the gravel areas if you are of slightly advancing years. Not sure how accessible this stretch would be when river levels are up.

Very low water

Not many bites after 10 am. 1 eel and 4 chub.

The river came alive in the evening. Missed plenty of takes on black parachute and sedge patterns. River lower than I've ever seen it.

3 Chub

Did not fish due to high temperatures in consideration of fish welfare.

the area by the aquaduct - which looks the best place to fish - appears to be the local swimming pool. People and their dogs were here all day - at one point there was 12 people swimming in the river. I dont really see why i am paying to fish here??
Did catch 2 fish at the downstream end of the beat - so not all bad.
