River low and quite warm still but we had a good few hours on this very attractive beat. As advised the going was quite tough negotiating the landslip on the quarry pool, but worth doing. A few rises after 7pm but we had our fish earlier in the afternoon on PTN and wet fly. JP repeatedly covered a fish moving at the tail of the top pool, which turned out to be a salmon in some distress so we left it alone.

Water low, clouds and windy, 20’C. Not much surface activity, all fish taken on polish nymphing . Graylings up to 10”, browns bit shorter. Good fun. All safely returned.

Extra water brought lots of weed & debris, we caught 13 Barbel to 8 1/2 lbs & 15 Chub to 4lb plus 1 Eel.

River up and lots of weed coming down river following rain, static bait almost impossible with debris and boats - rolling meat took the fish.

Good day saw quite a few fish rising mid morning, most caught on a double badger. finished around lunchtime as the wind was picking up. fished the Sun Trevor beat.

over 150 canoes passed us from 9am to 6pm so fishing was very hard, we actually caught 3 individual canoes who didn't have a clue!
River had a lot of weed but flowing fine, we saw lots of Salmon jumping and apart from the very noisy (music blaring) canoeist it was a pleasant day
we tried various baits, Pellet, meat and Cheese but caught all fish on spicy sausage?

Started fishing about 2pm , good to see the river back to its normal level , flowing through nicely , perfect conditions for the day. Had 2 chub with first 2 casts then it went quiet , Moved downstream about 7pm and finally got into some barbel , Very busy with canoes today and lots of weed rushing through but still a good days fishing
