Even with the driest July for many years most of the rivers fished fairly steady with a bit of hard work, august with a bit cooler conditions and low water still brought barbel with some extra hours on the bank, but where have the chub gone!

Lakes fished very hard for trout with very warm water far to much weed growth, just about the worst conditions for fly fishing ,late evenings in august brought a few fish to the net mainly to small nymphs or buzzers.
