Wading was not easy at all. Water very low and clear, not much fish seen today.

2 Trout

The water was muddy and a little higher than usual. Heavy rain all day, difficult to fish in these conditions, but still caught a few.

7 Trout, 3 Grayling

Stormy day very difficult to get any bites.

2 Chub

Booked evening fishing as my son wanted to catch a barbel, he was determined didn’t even care about the pouring rain all day. Got to the bank around 6ish fished till 9pm. Had 2 barbel bites and caught 1 chub and probably lost another chub at reeling in.
Lovely weather even was sunny before dawn. River was slightly higher than usual and bit murky. Lost a couple of tackle as quite snaggy this area is.
Nice time out. Parking is not clear as stated, they are shutting a gates at 7pm had to move the car onto the road to make sure won’t we stay all night.

Fishing aborted, appaling weather and river in full flood.

Bad timing on my part making the booking. The river was already up and dirty by the time I arrived with less than a foot of visibility. After an hour the heavens opened and put paid to any chance of a clearing river later in the day.

Lovely spot though and will certainly be back hopefully for a better day

Water was a bit darker and noticeably cooler after the rain on Friday which gave me my first brown trout which made my day.

Hard days fishing with heavy rain in the morning and the water turning chocolate colour in afternoon.
Chubb & barbel were all around 4lb, all caught on sweetcorn.
Others were dace.
