Bright hot sunny day. Quiet at first (fish, people and canoe wise) but by 11.00 there were dozens of people in the river at the top of the beat, gradually migrating downstream, swimming in the various slacks. The top half of the beat also became a lunch spot for large groups of canoeists. Carried on until late afternoon but a small number were still swimming and partying until 21.00, when I left.
Fish were caught at the very bottom of the beat on rolling meat and one on PVA bagged halibut pellet in the early evening after most of the mayhem died down. River was up a few inches but very clear.

Morning was surprisingly slow, we thought the low water level may have been an issue. All fish came from late afternoon in to the evening, once we had found the deeper water. What could have been....

Half a dozen barbel were on the small side but still great fun. Mostly on pellet. 2 eels

Brighter day, patchy cloud. 5 fish before noon trotting the same glide with spam this time (3 barbel, 2 chub). Another barbel and chub trotting in the afternoon. Evening feeders lost two lumps...nothing banked.
