Good day, but the stream is still low, but lovely and clear. Two WBT plus one Perch and big surprise a Rudd!! All on nymph. Quite a few takes especially in the afternoon.

Farmer still has cows in the field and the electric fence is still on, but no problems gaining access.

5 chub up to 2lbs & 2 Barbel biggest about 7-8 lbs other about 3-4 lbs. Luvly surroundings, apart from lunchtime when canoeist came through with music blaring & screaming & shouting it was v.peacful. Great afternoons fishing.

No luck today! Did manage a take on a Gold Bead Hares Ear in the faster water but he didn’t stay on. Plenty of fly life around the 6pm mark with occasional rises but none to my dry fly offerings. Parking nice and close to the beat but I would urge care when walking down to the river through the gate opposite where the parking is. The route down can be slightly precarious so take your time. Not to bad walking along the beat it’s generally ok, although a slight bit of bushwhacking might be called for.
Did catch a glimpse of a mink but couldn’t get my phone out quick enough to take a pic!
Wading was ok but current can be pretty strong and can also be slightly rocky underfoot

Chub caught on the float using pellet. Also tried feeder tactic to no avail. Lovely beat though.

We caught 14 Barbel to 8lb 14oz & 9 Chub.

14 Barbel, 9 Chub

All caught at the bottom end of the beat in the fast water on a variety of baits. Have been fishing here for years and never known the Barbel so elusive ??

Nice final visit of the season, although I couldn't find any big trout, or even medium trout. Caught four small ones as the evening went on, mostly on ptn.
