Nice day out, river was quite snaggy

A beautiful spot to fish. Mainly sunny weather with the river at normal summer level. One of the chub had a significant kink in its body and we caught this fish in the morning and again in the afternoon. All chub were between 2 and 4 lbs and sadly, all had goosander scars on their flanks. We counted 9 goosanders skulking along the far bank. Halibut pellet was the successful bait and all fish were returned unharmed.

5 Chub

All fish on long trotted meat or bread, two Chub over 4lb another two over 3.A great day on a beautiful stretch of river. Other a Dace.

Seemed to be Chub everywhere, very difficult to get to river, which had a brown tinge, due to bankside vegetarian , all fish caught on robin red pellet & feeder tactics

River was still rising through the day, topping at about +2.8m. The river was also very coloured and lots of debris coming down. Dropped in to lots of the likely looking swims with slacks. Small rattles every now and then.
1 chub between us on pellet. A very tough day indeed.

Tough day, river up 1 5m overnight and difficult to find slack water to hold bottom. Oddly had 4lb chub second cast which was probably a bit of a fluke as feeder was bouncing around all over the place. Tried up and down the stretch for rest of the day with only one bite and a 7.2lb barbel at 4pm was very welcome.

Not a bite all day long. Water was up and fast. Tried every possible bait, no results.

We caught 3 Barbel to 10lb 4oz & 4 Chub to 5lb 1oz, a bit slippery down the track following the rain but we made it back up ok.
