I tried to get to the lucky stone but was beaten by another angler. Although he was kind enough to suggest we fished either side of him, it wasn't safe enough to do so in the rain. We walked the fields having concorde cardiac hill, which isn't to bad if I'm honest. There's not many options in the way of swims but we settled on a stone bank within the second field.
We didn't catch anything today but did see fish topping.
Having talked with some local fisherman, if you can't get to the " kissing stone " you may struggle as we had.
Tight lines

Our first visit to Fownhope 5 and was lucky to meet a local man,John, who was very helpful and pointed us in the right direction to the good spots. We decided to walk the stretch first and soon found out why Heart attack hill is called what it is! Unfortunately after our walk one of our party did not feel well so another attempt at Heart attack hill was not a good idea. A word of warning, the three of us are all in our 60s or 70s and reasonably fit but the hill loaded with tackle could have been a step too far. A nice location but in the end we did not fish but enjoyed our lunch by the riverside before heading home.

Struggled to catch on the feeder so tried a bit of Euro nymphing which accounted for the majority of the chub and both barbel. Great fun.
