Too hot, decided not to fish

Early morning start was essential, and rewarded with a double figure Barbel on first cast. Closely followed by two Chub (6 and 4 lb). Pellet. As the sun came out, and temperatures rose, the action slowed considerably. Raps and taps occasionally through till 3pm, then things started up again. Day finished with 3 good Chub taken on trotted meat down towards Island end.
Family of otters (parent and two cubs) spotted early on. Magnificent. Did not seem to upset the fish.
Maybe the warm, sluggish water had an impact, but none of the fish, including the barbel, put up too much of a scrap. Lovely day. Thank you.

Very hot and bright
Decided not to fish

Worth noting track down to the river is not for all cars
- you will need a good ground to chassis clearance
Conditions were very bright and hot
Lots of canoes , paddle borders and some open water swimmers most were very accommodating to anglers

Not a lot happening today dropped a Barbel not paying attention missed a lot of bites, one of those days rapped up early .

Two anglers fished and our first time on this stretch so decided to fish the bottom end. Tried various swims and caught the chub in a few of them. One barbel lost otherwise no sign of them.
