Hot weather and low water. Barbel bites came at the very end of the day. Lovely venue with a very friendly and helpful bailiff.

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.
