All fish healthy (and real scrappers) - and all safely returned.

Overcast. Nothing rising. Fished wet, and wetter still when it began to tip down. Nary a nibble. Nil return.

Slow day but two good fish lost. Only 2 fishable swims on the upper stretch. Both of these were overgrown and difficult to get down to especially as it was wet.

4 Chub

A hard days fishing with few bites. Hadn't fished here for 2 years and there seems to be far fewer large fish around. Fished 3 usually productive swims but proved difficult in all. The chub came to feeder pellet tactics in the deeper swims well past the garden. The barbel came to rolled meat in the fast shallows at the start of the beat. Barbel was just over 8lbs.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

Perfect conditions. Slightly risen river, a little colour, humid to cool weather, a little drizzle, but sunshine too. Banks a little slippery, rope proved handy.
Barbel (from 3 to 8lb) and Chub (several big fish around the 6lb mark) all falling to pellets (varied) on feeder and ledger.
Trotted corn produced some lovely Dace, Chub to 2lb and a superb one and a half pound trout.
Two Perch (one 2lb+) fell to Stret Pegged corn, supplemented with small pellets.
A truly memorable day. The river at its finest. Some blobs of foam coming through throughout day. Not sure this was sinister.

Fished from 12:30 - 6pm spinning with mepps. Hooked 4 but landed 2 nice rainbow trout. Slighlty smaller fish than last year but they put up a better fight!! Seemed to have the water to ourselves.

fairly limited in fishable swims when the water is up and pushing through - still no sign of the owner making any effort to improve aceess to the river

Great day. Ideal conditions for trotting and ledgering. Plenty of action.
