4 Barbel, 2 Chub

1 Barbel, 19 Chub

Fished two sessions, morning and evening in the Woods section. Used 12mm pellets with a long hair to try and avoid the chub. I also ignored the chub pulls, unless they effectively hooked themselves. 4 barbel in the morning and 4 in the evening, all relatively spaced out. I could have caught many more chub, if I had been striking at every pull. Largest barbel a very nice fish at 9lb 3oz. Others all in the 5 - 7 lb range. River seemed to be at about normal summer levels, but was very coloured.

Hot and sunny clear day. Fished the wooded section as had been successful there before. Caught a number of chub and could have had a lot more but decided to move to try to find the barbel. This was surprisingly difficult. Eventually picked off two in the top field. My colleague sadly did not manage to get a barbel but at least he had a chub or two and got to see mine!

First time here and it has some interesting pegs, can't understand the greater premium this beat carries in price but hey ho....One of the wooded pegs was a snag~fest best avoided. Got absolutely chubbed out and so starting using baits and rigs to try and avoid them in order to catch the barbel.
As always it's great trying somewhere new.

Hot day, couldn't get through the chub to the barbel. The chub were taking the bait on the drop!

SM fished top peg in woods for 50+ chub and 5 Barbel SG fished lucky stone for 68 chub and 1 Barbel.
MH fished all 3 croys during day in first field and had 30 chub and 15 Barbel and 1 Eel.
All fish caught on pellet and specialist Boilie, with ground bait feeder tactics.
River was pretty perfect, if not slightly up on previous years. The colour dropped out as the day went on.
Very hot day, but caught constantly throughout the day.
Fownhope just keeps giving to those that put the effort and time in.
Cheers again W&U.
