Only fished a few hours in the morning and evening in the end, as fishing was very slow in the low water conditions. Rob took a brace of 7s fishing the streamiest water available, late in the day.

Good conditions but river very low and clear, few good chub to meat early on then switched to trotting for a mixed bag of dace and some nice perch.

3 Chub, 15 Other

Some pretty poor angling led to 3 fish being lost to snapped hook links!!! but rewarded with a gorgeous 8lber to brighten my spirits

There from first light. Nothing at all until midday, chub then fed on and off all day until early evening then stopped. 2 barbel both right on dark.

Fished this lovely stretch of water but water was a little low. Tried euro nymphing for the first time but no luck. Also tried dry flies in the evening but no luck either. There were very few rising in the evening even though there was a hatch for sure. Saw 2 very large fish jumping, one possible a salmon given its size.

Totally different weather to yesterday at How Caple, overnight rain and overcast and a lot cooler.
Didn't start fishing 'til midday, had bites from the off and consistent sport all afternoon.
A boilie/pellet seemed to work well.
Definitely be coming back here, although maybe a little lighter tacklewise as it's quite a walk.

Intermittent rain, about 17C and a southerly breeze. Quite a change from a week of high pressure and blue sunny skies. The odd small fish rising at the dam end on arrival at 8am. One small brownie rushed out to harass the bob fly at the end of a retrieve near the old boathouse. Otherwise no other contacts. Overall impressions on this my first visit: an attractive water, which probably fishes well on the right day; however, slightly let down by the traffic noise on the adjacent A470 and the heavily wooded western side and top end, which makes access challenging.
