Caught 2 chub on lures in the morning, had to stop fishing for a few hours as there were too many canoes crossing where I was trying to fish. The rest of the day the fish were not biting so unfortunately it was a very quiet day.

This nil return comes with a measure of sadness. I love this stretch of river, but it is now in a sorry state. Very low, slow and tinged with green by a thick fringe of algae. It was a cooler day and the water temperature was below 20c. We dutifully fished dry, but in the knowledge that any fish which came to the surface would probably be looking to give himself up. Mercifully, none did.

I should note that there were campers in the field by our stretch of the bank, presumably there with the farmer's permission. This lot didn't bother us, but the same might not be true of others.

River painfully low, air and water temperature down in recent weeks. Roved around mostly looking for faster water and on wading it was evident that faster water really shallow.
Absolutely nothing on feeder rod, thank god I took float rod! Caught first ever barbel on float and pin, so delighted with that.
What was interesting is as river so low I was able to see contours and depths of river which in normal or above conditions not really possible.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Upstream stretch above Dent Bank. 3 small trout on a nymph, 2 larger ones on dry.

As usual I had a lovely day fishing at a beautiful location that is (Trecastle) reservoir, quite chilly but to compensate I caught 5 lovely rainbow trout ranging from 1lb. 8ozs to 2lb.10ozs lovely eating size, all in good condition my partner gathered a large bag of plastic litter which she took home and recycled so we both had a good day ????

Fishing Passport Note : Thank you Alan and your lovely partner for the clean up. Very much appreciated.
