Slow day in good weather with all fish caught before 4.30pm although we stayed till after dark in the same swim which was lively the day before. There were many canoes which is unusual for this beat, and we had noticed that the opposite bank was being prepared for something, which turned out to be canoeists camping, so they were arriving until after dark, dragging their canoes up the bank and very noisily setting up camp. We also witnessed (illegal?) hunting, starting around 6.30pm with about 20 hounds who also went into the water opposite us during their pursuit of the fox, which we saw running along the far bank. The hunt was accompanied by much horn blowing, shouting and yelping of dogs, which continued for at least couple of hours, so unsurprising that we caught nothing into the evening.

Excellent days' fishing, really came to life after about 3pm and really active as dusk fell.

Three hours in intense heat on Wednesday (changed the day with Terry's approval). Plenty of fish surfacing but only one chub 4.5Lbs caught on pellet with swim feeder.

Arrived early pm in 31 degrees of heat with river very low. Went to a previously productive swim (last year) but no signs of life except numerous tiny chub and one chub of about 3lb. Thunderstorm and rain started early afternoon and we gave up about 7.30pm with no further activity.

2 small trout caught and released on small midge fly. River like mill pond but humid and caught where limited fly activity was greatest at dusk.

River was quite low but still a good flow on Beat 3. Fished the left hand bank about 200 yds upstream from the car park using 12mm pellet and feeder. A couple of early bites in the deep water towards the opposite bank and eventually netted a small but excellent Chub to about 1lb.

Left pretty soon afterwards as the heat was building and the threat of thunderstorms became more likely. Excellent communication throughout from Terry and looking forward to the next session.
