Wife's gone to see her father with my lad. Gives me some time on river. Just made a peg up looks like it might hold some fish. Time will tell. Nice gravel bar running through this area. Bit of company dog . Got munk on. Went to try another spot first. But too much cover f****d my leg up. Lads told me easy to get to. Think the c**ts were pulling my pisser lol.

Too warm to be fishing still flat water on the river mate you want to head to more fast flowing water more oxygen available for the fish so they will be a little more active at those areas especially on warm days.

Agree with you about the weather too hot got to watch the sun of skin being burnt

I've been fishing past three weeks mate warmer than yesterday. Had some nice fish. That area were I am goes from medium flow to fast flow gravel area. Just that the Calder fishes better on an evening for barbel. Even better when it's gravy looking. Don't like clear water through day. Got me out for a few hours.

Ugly looking fuckers but they do like powerful mate. Can you get them on the fly and spin or is more carp tactics for them ?
