Float fishing for chub. We caught so many we lost count.

The path leading to the pegs was fairly overgrown.

Beautiful day. Most swims hard to access but got into the first two on the upper beat relatively comfortably. Used 3oz feeders with hair rigged meat for the chub and the barbel took a halibut pellet. Fished to the nearside crease for the chub and found the barbel a bit further out into the main flow.

Fished from between the two bridges, water perfectly clear. The few fish I saw were very spooky and almost impossible to approach in the seriously overgrown stream. Clambering over numerous downed trees of substantial size and battling through undergrowth, but very few places to make a half decent presentation by any means.

Bit more overcast than previous day in the morning and a few fish rising but still struggled to get any interest. Tried everything again and managed to tempt 1 Trout approx 8 inches to an Olive Dun off the top in the early evening.

Wont be beaten we will be back to try again.

Quiet day. Fun was watching the sand martens doing their high speed aerobatics. Saw an Osprey doing a leisurely fly past. Three salmon showing on beat 4 in different spots. A bit too bright & hot really.
Thanks to all concerned.
