Feedback & Reports

After a really gruelling day on Saturday it was just the tonic to be on HL3 again . The weather was due to be hot and clear after the mist cleared and so I set up a float rod and after 30 minutes loose feeding had 6 chub in the first six casts ( mental fishing) !!!

Fished various croynes in the afternoon for another 7 chub. Other were 6 small chublets .

44 Chub, 6 Other

Up early ,did the usual chores , then bimbled off to Hundred House beat of the Edw ,I was in two minds to drive on to Cregrina , as both are some of my favourite beats , but opted for the easier option , didn't fancy disco dancing on the bedrock up at Cregrina beat !!!!
River lowish, like most of them now , but there are some cracking deep pools here to work a weighted nymph through , and this morning was just right to be honest when I started at eight , cool , reading twelve degrees in my truck and initially overcast so good news !!!
Some good sport during the four hours I was there and feisty brownies on the two weight rod this morning !!! Fish ranging from five to ten inches , only two on the Parachute Greenwells this morning ,most on the olive tungsten nymph, ten did make it too the net also lots freeing themselves off the barbless hooks , ahhhhh no bother, still good sport !!
I did spot a mink on the bank of a deep pool, cheeky beggar didn't budge either !!! Gggrrrr !!River is looking tired and messy to be fair , lots of trees and mess in the river , shame really as it's a cracking beat , needs the habitat team going through and giving it a dam good tidy up !!!!
That said, a lovely four hours , lovely mooching back to the truck , and nice to have a well earned can of pop and a banana when I de kitted !!some rain in next week, may be able to squeeze another session in here before the Seasons end , or a few sessions up Claerwen possibly , spot on ,a nice chill out . . . . .

Warm sunny day on a low and clear river. I Expected it to be hard going so was pleased to have caught anything. One of the chub was a good 4-41/2 lbs and took off like a barbel when I hooked it. One eel also caught.
