Thunder & lightning. Very heavy downpours but some decent barbel caught.

4 Barbel, 1 Chub

3 chub caught on feeders and 1 barbel lost. Conditions normal. Heavy rain came in and thunder. Banks became a hazard as mud was like ice. Had to pack up after 2 hours fishing.

fished till midday no fish caught on spinning. but had a couple following lure.but no bites

The river was completely different than downstream at Severn Arms. The water was very low and clear. Only 4 trout caught on euronymphing, no grayling seen today, I am surprised. Anyway, good nature, it's definitely worth visiting this stretch.

Two bites but no fish ,landed one crayfish ! My suspensions are that the crayfish have taken over making bottom fishing difficult.

Fished the top end this morning. Went home about 2.00pm
4 good barbel, best 7 1/2 lbs. Lost 4 others including perhaps the biggest fish of the day when my landing net came adrift at the point of landing and disappeared into the depths! Biggest chub about 3lb, the remainder all small.
I will be returning soon. Lucky to have met Stefan. Very handy to have expert advice freely available. Will seek him out hopefully on my next return in the near future.
Only 4 canoes this morning causing no problems. A couple in one of the canoes applauded me as I was landing one of the barbel! A nice gesture.
