Two hours fishing. Not bad until the rain. This spot has a nice population of salmon parr.

3 Trout

We had brillant weather at the start of the day, sunny intervals. However it did rain for most of the afternoon which switched the fish off. A great time was had by all. The five rods did not catch a trout of over one pound. Nevertheless were kept busy with fish of 5-8 inches. The wining combination was a weighted black GRHE sz14 on the point with a small spider pattern on a dropper 3 foot higher.
There was a problem with a group camping alongside the Ciliau run on the east bank. They were fishing when we arrived and has a large Canadian style canoe which they paddled up and down the beat. This was reported to W&UF.
We camped at Trericket Mill near the beat.

River very low and clear. Fished cage feeder ground bait and pellet, sweetcorn and meat, some small taps but only one proper fish, a chub of 4lbs from the end swim on near bank. some chub seen near Foy Bridge but no barbel.
I will be back hopefully when the river is orange!

1 Chub

River very clear and low throughout. The Early start was the best chance with a few good sized chub and a couple of 7 lb barbel in superb condition, taken in the fast water at the tail of beat 6. Only one other rod booked in and 3 miles of water.

2 Barbel, 6 Chub

Water very low moving at a snails pace! Decided from the off to fish single size 22 beadhead nymph and picked up 10 between 6 and 9 inches. Very few rising fish today. Those that were rising were spooked at the most delicate casts. It started raining heavily as I left and still is as I'm writing this at 9.30pm. Just what the doctor ordered.

Caught one trout on Dry Hopper. Most rises were too far to cover from bank. Also fished nymphs with no offers. Time for a boat I think!!

Very enjoyable despite much needed rain. 3 good size chub but alas no barbel. Great help from Terry who runs the fishery. Thank you.

3 Chub

I fished from 1.00pm - 9.30pm, unfortunately the second rod had to cancel. Initially a bit of a struggle in very low water and bright sunshine, but I donned the chest waders and found the shoals of barbel underneath far bank trees. Caught steadily enough through the afternoon and added another 7 or so in a manic last hour to finish with 16 Barbel. Another enjoyable day, thanks.

16 Barbel, 16 Chub
