Evening session, directions to fishing good, but access to the faster water difficult

Arrived at first light, river still very low and clear, the rain from the previous day didn't affect the river conditions as anticipated. Excellent video & map directions, fished two locations.
Top section:
Fished the Fire Pit-Swim, not a lot else to choose from? Fished a 14mm halibut pellet over fishmeal & hemp through a ground-bait feeder, loose-fed 5mm halibut pellets. First bite came in the first hour after first light, lovely pristine 8lb Barbel, unfortunately the next hour was bite less, very quiet after that, so i decided to move to the bottom section.
Bottom section:
Again with limited swim choice, I fished the 1st swim by the car-park under the big oak tree, Fished ledgered meat, occasionally changing to glugged boilie through a ground-bait feeder. Very shallow, possibly only 18" of water in front of me, and very snaggy to my left in the middle, lost a lots of terminal tackle inc swim feeders and leads. Very slow throughout the day picking up the odd chub to 4lbs, and the "other" being a 2lb eel, went quiet at 1pm, so I reluctantly decided on an early finish. Canoe traffic was steady throughout the day, all very courteous and avoided my line where possible.

I will return after some well earned rain, it needs a good flush through.

Thanks WUF and the land owners for allowing us access to a great river and all the nature it provides.

Nice afternoon expected a lot more rain so given the water temp a good result.
Had a double figure salmon chase my feeder several times and large pike chasing silver fish all afternoon.
Add in the wildlife - a very entertaining afternoon
