The river was back to low levels and a fair clarity. The water temperature was cold, around the 10oC although, 12 of the Chub were taken to trotting, all fish of a good size, during a rewarding mornings fishing. Although wading was required, proving to be challenging due to the cold water. Roving was required to secure the Barbel throughout the day.

One fished and had a memorable day. Got the chub going on the drop and had well over 20 in a couple of hours. These included a new PB of 5.4lb, soon upstaged by his mate at 5.5lb! Stayed all day but was fairly quiet either side of the frantic 2 hour window. But still, catching 100lb of fish in a day is just brilliant. One thing to mention, there is now a large herd of cows grazing in the first two fields. They're quite intimidating, especially when on your own on this otherwise beautiful beat.

Good day on lovely stretch. Fished half a dozen swims and caught in every one. Croy at upstream end produced all the barbel. We then slowly moved back to the start of the beat as we wanted to try out different spots. Chub were all a good size. Other was an eel.

Barbel caught first cast while morning mist still heavy. It then became a very hot, bright, and clear day and we struggled to locate any more barbel but had a few decent chub - biggest 4lb.
