The river had come up in the night and continued to rise for the 5 hours we fished for which was a waste of time when the river is cold and rising the fish shut up shop. Don’t think I’ll be booking again this time of year

2 x anglers, river 1ft 6 inches, very high. 2 x grayling, 2 x out of season trout

One of our favourite beats which has not been kind of late. River down from day before but rose during the day. Baited up and rested swim from which we regularly catch, before casting in. Barbel was attached before the rod hit the rest and safely landed. Another Barbel lost at the net before 5 more whiskers were safely landed. All were taken on either single or double krill dumbells and came withing 5/10 of casting in, which has been our experience in the past so we recast regularly with feeder tactics. Fish all caught between 10.45 and 3 pm with nothing else until a chub snagged and lost at end of the day. Despite using rope and spike one of us managed a couple of falls so care needed. Did not bump into Andy this visit but much appreciate his help and guidance. Only fished a rod length or less from the bank.
