18/07 Derwent





Finally a bit of extra water in the river, although if you believed the last update on the EA website you could have been surprised. I arrived at the river surprised to find it a couple of feet up on previous levels and rancid with debris. 1st 2 swims were unproductive - knocks but lots of weed. 3rd swim didnt look a lot better but didnt get the weed problem as bad. Caught a nice bunch of fish, probably between 6 1/2lb and maybe 9lb (21:25, 21:35, 22:05, 22:30 & 22:50).
