Tried all day to find a feeding fish but couldn’t, water was on its bones which didn’t help.

Three small trout only, caught on spiders and one euronymphing. Probably the poorest day I've had on this beat. The top half is still very slippery underfoot, and it's still quite difficult to get up to for a nearly seventy four year old. All fish caught on bottom section.

Steep path down to the river and swims are steep to get to especially when wet. Travelling light is key here as they stated. 1 of us had 4 chub and the other only 1 chub, hard day's fishing but a very picturesque spot watching the wildlife. Water level is very low currently and a good reach down from the swims with a net. Not many features in the water.

River still low and weed an issue. Needs good flush through, some decent rain on the hills for a sustained period. Fished from 07:30am to 18:30pm. 4 good sized barbel on 2oz feeder in creases. Heavy showers and overcast, good conditions. Fish were plump and coloured for autumn and more energetic than on previous visits in Summer.
