Tough day, barbel pretty scarce but chub made up the for them. No biggies but nice to catch. Pellet feeder did the job.

A blank day. River a bit on the high side with a sunny morning and a bit difficult to hold the bottom. Stayed for a bit into the afternoon when the clouds arrived but very little interest. Lost one barbel but very few bites on this occasion.

First time fishing Colonel's water and had an amazing day. Really nice beat with a good range of water suitable for both dry's and nymphs. Managed to catch my first ever grayling, followed by my second which weighed in at a pound and three quarters, giving a great fight on my light weight euro nymph setup. Unfortunately (can't believe I'm writing this) the beat is full of trout willing to take a nymph. Ended the day with 19 trout and 2 grayling with nearly all the fish taken on nymphs fished euro style. The deeper pools/runs were most productive with a couple of fish caught in the faster riffles. River was .053m on the Cilmery gauge and very clear.
