Started on the river around 10am fell in by 10.30 ! even with studded boots it felt like i skied into a gutter, slippery is an understatement and that was before a beer over lunch!!
After that what a great day caught 4 nice grayling and one small trout on nymphs all safely returned, missed many more.
Finished around 4. A memorable day on more than one account .

Very tough conditions in the heat and low water, tried float fishing and ledgering but it was hard going on 30c heat. Chub all came to ledgered meat, biggest 4lb 2ozs but most around 1b. Lovely stretch of water, very picturesque and peaceful.

3 of us fished this ultra short boundary on a really hot day from 9-3 and saw plenty of action. Float fished fjuka soft black pellet was the most successful bait for me for chub to 3lb plus over loose fed hemp on the float after they had wised up a bit to corn.
Charlie had a nice barbel on red 8mm pellet on the feeder and I lost one on a hook pull - unusual for qm1's as it charged off upstream after taking meat on the feeder.
Thank you to who ever cut steps in the downstream swim though still have a rope with you.
The other fish were dace there were hundreds in there - flashing and boiling for the loose fed hemp.
Think we would have seen more barbel action in the evening but the Green Man in Fownhope beckoned.

Arrived very late in the day in very hot weather. No bites.No fish

Rather hot day which made the fishing rather slow. Lovely stretch of water despite the lack of fish landed. Sure there are fish present but they would not give any three foot twitches
