Fish were to be found around the beach/rapids area. We caught them both levering and trotting. Lots of small barbel which is really promising for the future.

25 Barbel, 3 Chub

Fly fished morning til 12pm. 1 chunky 3-4lb brown caught on a leech booby and some surface activity but it ended as soon as the sun came out.

The reservoir had hardly any water, never the less had a lovely day and did catch something.

Few hectic bits on today , so was nice to feed everything early , top up the hens water , and get going …. Initially where to was a decision I wasn’t sure on ….. wanted some where easy wading , no real effort and not toooooo far . So opted for my old favourite , Edw , Hundred House , again !!!!!

I did initially think of Hindwell at Knill , but dry fly sport isn’t fun there , and although if flows well and stays lovely and clear , I’m not sure what’s happened with the trout population there the last couple of years , it’s really dwindling ….. looking at the stream it should be bouncing with fish !!!!! Anyway , I parked up at half five in my usual spot , and opted for a tiny cdc and elk , as there were plenty of sedges raving just above the surface , and in fact loads of insect activity come half six , lots of dancing upwings and others at the party …..

Fishing was fun again , and brought to the net seven brownies in the two hour window I was there , sizes from six to nine inches , and also three parr . They always hammer the dry hard too !!!!! It seems like they have favoured pools too , and one after another smashing it …. I left the one pool , as I think I quickly released four salmon parr in rapid time ….. bodes well though I guess ……..

Saw my buddy the kingfisher , I looked at him as if to say I saw you yesterday , and he kind of did the same at me too … lots of grey squirrels , on the go , feeding heavily , well , it’s that time again isn’t it , everything starting to slowly wind down now for the cooler months ahead ….

A fun couple of hours , beats watching holiday rubbish on the box , a pleasant drive back home and nice to get out in the garden , with a cuppa and the pooch , and reflect on a fun couple of hours , always love these wild streams …. Peace and quiet on a bank holiday weekend , bliss !!!!!!!
