Lovely day of glorious weather exploring this lovely beat. Some on the dry and some on the nymph. Best 17”. In truth started a bit late. Flats quite high at this height but plenty of places to fish. Could not get right down to the bridge at the bottom of the beat.

Strange day river coloured and rising only one fish caught

1 Chub

Weather very varied from rain and cold wind to sunny and calm later in the afternoon. Two larger grayling with the rest in the 6-10 inch bracket, the trout was about 11 inches.

All fish caught on a PTN.

River still slightly high after heavy rain 3-4 days earlier. This restricted accessible areas suitable for trotting. Banks in may places are overgrown limiting access and large stretches are inaccessible because of steep banks and thick willows lining the banks. At summer river levels, some of these would be accessible by wading up or downstream from existing entry points.

I moved around and fished three different swims, near the top, middle and bottom of the beat. Caught chub in each up to 3lbs. Had one lovely 6lb barbel near the top of the beat (just upstream of the orchard).
