Tough day trying to target barbel but no joy. Left before barbel o’clock as pub beckoned.
Chub on meat.

Very difficult conditions river up and still rising and belting through.

Upstream and across nymphing small & medium gold heads and tungstens on the point with various droppers worked for decent sized OOS trout and a couple of grayling all returned, I'm sure I missed lots of nibbles and plucks. No surface activity evident, no obvious hatches except occasional minute midges coming off mid-afrternoon, no rises to my dries hence resorting to nymphs. Saw a salmon making its way upstream into Armies pool.

5 Trout, 2 Grayling

Just a half day session on the pool today it was overcast with a few sunny spells and a little chilly but no breeze and it was flat calm across the whole lake
Not many carp bubbling as they usually are but casted to a few that were spotted and hooked into one that screamed off 60 yards across the lake and managed to slip the hook !
Soon after hooked another and got it in the net after a terrific hard fight,a fin perfect common carp weighing 12 pounds it looked stunning in the autumn sunshine.
Hopefully squeeze in a full day session before close of this year
If not roll on April ....Will be back!

River cold falling and the colour dropped out during the day. A really hard day on a normally productive beat
