Lovely day slight breeze. Garden worm ledgered and float. Also 4 perch.

A really lovely day’s fishing despite the near-record temperatures. Water very low for the valley but still lots of deep areas. Tough fishing given the conditions and the lethargy of the trout but a few bites, which were earned the hard way. Glorious beat, even in this heat, and whichever band had arrived at the Studios to record kindly allowed us to refill our water bottles (I hope they weren’t famous enough that I should have recognised them!).
Absolutely stunning stretch of the Morrow, lots of deep water even in a drought/heatwave, some lovely stone “beaches” to set up camp in the shade in. Very much recommended.

Aimed to fish a late afternoon and evening session to avoid the worst of the high temperatures.
On arrival it became apparent that the session might be even shorter than planned as the beach peg was home to a number of sunbathers, swimmers and stick chasing dogs.
Eventually the crowds dispersed and we were left with maybe a couple of hours before dark to do some fishing. Despite the disturbance and the low and clear river conditions, the fish were reasonably obliging when we did eventually get to wet a line.

Tough conditions with it being the hottest day of the year and the river being so low. Happy with the one barbel around 5 lb which was safely returned.

Not the best of conditions to say the least and we opted for an early start…A touch of flow helped the cause and we surprisingly bagged 30 Chub in very low water..Does seem to be more restricted here for swim options but still a pleasure to fish.

Wyebank understandably busy with boat traffic but all good natured and courteous to us fishing we are pleased to report… Obviously it was difficult fishing but we managed to catch a couple of small but hard fighting Barbel and enjoyed some shade and slightly cool breeze too…
