Lovely stretch, take the advice and travel light. Also may be advisable to take a rope. All fish caught on meat and pellet.
River was carrying quite a bit of colour, even though it was only slightly up on the gauge.

Very slow start to the day , took a gamble with it being bank holiday , canoe traffic wasn’t too bad though .
Arrived first light , no bites whatsoever tried all three pools , feeder & float tactics .
Went home & returned for the evening, river full of life , Chub swirling ….the return paid off , 4 small barbel & one around 8lb to finish off with along a rogue chub .
All fish coming to meat & pellet on the feeder

Spinning

Judging by the puddles in Sned Wood car park when I arrived de bonne heure, it had rained heavily overnight. This was reflected in the river which, while still running low, had a milky tint to it. This beat was already in need of some TLC; the more so now, as the recent storm has brought down another couple of trees. Not that the Grayling appeared to mind; with fish from most of the runs I fished as I made my way up river. Unlike my last visit, with no lunch time fry up to distract me, I ventured downstream in the afternoon; where it was equally prolific. Only 3 Trout, but let's call in 30 Grayling ; mostly fish in the 7-8" bracket, with a handful of larger fish, and all caught on the same tungsten nymph
