Fiercely hot day, bright sun all day. Fished from 0945 until 2030. First chub (1lb) at 1000, then nothing until 1900 when sun finally started to dip. 1 barbel (8lbs 8oz) on halibut pellet and garlic sausage cocktail. Chub on pellet. Cage feeder and hair rig. Water level low but plenty of flow in the deeper water. Boat traffic not too bad and all very considerate.

Overcast in the morning, sunny in the afternoon, stiff breeze most of the day which made float fishing awkward and only produced one chublet. We all fished the beach and a low summer level made the whole river easily accessible. 2 fished morning till tea and 2 lunch till 8 with a civilised pub lunch in the middle but this did disrupt the morning anglers.
One swim produced 3 of the barbel, the one above produced the other one (biggest 9.04 to Mr P on his antique cane rod and Mitchell 300 - he nearly became Caradoc pole vault champion) and all the fell to bomb and pellet right across. The rest of the beach was patchy with not many chub showing. Only one family on the beach and they stayed upstream out of the way.
I may figure out how to fish it in another few goes, but a lovely day nonetheless.
