Had a week on Teesside with in laws.
Great weather they've had up there.
Managed to get 2 days in.
Wednesday at Newby Hall nr Ripon. On the [bANNED TEXT]. Right under weir, thought we'd bag a barbel or chub.
As it was only bits.....dace, roach, perch & eel.
Very low & clear.
Swale on Thursday nr Northallerton. Baking hot, no shelter.
