Successful last minute negotiations for use of a few spare hours saw me at UHC which had produced a few barbel recently. Only fished it once (unsuccessfully) before so I don't know the swims. Slightly overcast, mild not hot, quite clear but nice flow in the top section which was dead last time. Started at 1700 in
the top section on bomb and pellet and had 3 Chub in the firdt hour. Finished with 4 Chub in the last hour on gb feeder and meat inc the biggest at 4.12, all the rest a good size too. No signs of barbel. Loads of Chub showing and move have slayed it on the float. Had to leave at 2015 but a really lovely evening and worth a return.

I've heard a lot of negative comments about upper hill court, some of the Swims are a bit tight but are fishable, only fished the upper section there are at least seven swims to go at. Fished a running rig and pellet one small Barbel and 5lb Chub.

Enjoyable day on a reasonably quiet stretch of the river, fished one swim at the upstream end in the morning & one on the downstream ends in the afternoon caught from both with the Chub falling to various pellets & Boilies at irregular intervals throughout the day, biggest was around 4lbs.
