River was in decent condition, albeit a little tea coloured. Started on the lower end of the meadow. After a small chub second cast all went quiet for a couple of hours so I moved down into the wood where there was a bit more flow.
Nothing all day, I suspect due to the huge numbers of canoes coming through, then after the traffic had eased I had 4 bites in an hour and a half. First was clearly a barbel (and a good one I think) but spat the hook after weeding me up. Very next cast and it's gone again, Barbel of 9lb 7oz. Lost what felt like a chub a little later then another Barbel, this time 10lb 11oz! Action dried up as quickly as it started but I certainly wasn't complaining.

2 Barbel, 1 Chub, 1 Other

Another day with non active fishing. All trout gone down to the bottom of the lake. Water temperature +19C. Perch was so active this time. 2 trouts landed. Nothing else for 8 hours of fishing.

A slow day with only 2 chub caught

2 Chub

Much better day on Wyebank than previous at How Caple. 21 barbel from 3lb up. 1 a new pb at 10lb exactly!
Plenty of empty canoes and idiots floating by behind them to keep us entertained inbetween the fishing. How hard can it be to stay inside a boat??

21 Barbel

11 Barbel

Arrived just after 9am. The fishing was very slow. We started off in the woods but later in the day relocated to the ferry pool end. Just as the evening started the fish seemed to switch on but just for a very short time. I managed 1 Barbel and 2 Chub with my mate loosing 2 fish. The other anglers I spoke to on the beat were also struggling.
