River very high but still fished 1 barbel 3 chub and some dace
That was it due to conditions of the river

1 Barbel, 3 Chub, 3 Other

High water and flowing fast. Was a challenging day but managed 2 decent chub and weather was on my side, first time on this beat and would definitely come again.

2 Chub

Blank. Probably due to cold, heavy overnight rain bringing the River up over 2 metres as well as a significant change in air pressure

Weather again very mixed with frequent downpours in the afternoon. Fished the downstream section fast and shallow as there were quite a few other anglers on the opposite side of the section upstream of the foot bridge which was disappointing. River in the afternoon on the rise making angling difficult.

Fishing aborted, appaling weather and river in full flood.

Another slow day interrupted by pretty spectacular thunderstorm. Marine based baits ineffective, sweetcorn the most successful.

Excellent stay at The Cottage of Content

3 Barbel, 8 Chub

Although the river looked in good condition with the level falling slightly , the day proved hard going. Barbel on krill and shrimp boilies, chub on mixed seafood boilies and sweetcorn.

All caught at the bottom end of the beat in the fast water on a variety of baits. Have been fishing here for years and never known the Barbel so elusive ??
