1 Barbel, 6 Chub

Fished the afternoon in to early evening targeting Barbel but no luck. Nice place with plenty of fishable swims.

4 anglers, tried up stream, too slow with no joy, moved to faster downstream around the woods and we all had fish, the trek downstream is not for the unfit and is a little precarious . The other fish was an eel. There was a lot of salmon activity in the down stream section with very big salmon jumping.

A little out of practice. This was my first trip for a couple of years. Very little observable insect life and only saw a couple of rises. Fished for most of the day on a variety of dry flies and nymphs with zero success until, early evening, fishing with a nymph in the rough outflow from a pool I briefly hooked a grayling which escaped before I could land it. I had a second take (maybe from the same fish) a little later.
Weather was dry and overcast with some sun.
Great to be on this lovely little stretch of river again.
Have a feeling a more experienced angler would have done better.

Hot, low and clear, a tough day in bright sunshine...but not so unexpected. A wide variety of wildlife was observed...mostly contained in canoes ;-)

Significantly less chubby as other beats fished in the last week (in similar conditions). Two eels...both foul-hooked

A couple of hours fishing in the evening. All caught on weigher nymphs of various sizes and colour.
