1 Barbel, 30 Chub

Fished just for the evening in the lower field. All fish caught on the feeder with krill boilies. The best chub was just over 4lb, the barbel was about 6lb.

The day started at 6.30am with clear blue skies and rising temperatures. The Orchard beat was characterised by deep glides interspersed with gravelly runs. The bait pool is currently inaccessible due to a fallen tree, but the beach below the wood offered immediate sport with five Chub and a Barbel.
As the sun rose higher and the temperature exceeded 25 degrees, we drove to the second car park and explored the first meadow, below the Orchard.
The upper section of the meadow offers shallows and gravel beaches. The lower section is made up several deeper pools with high banks. There are however four accessible swims, where fish can be netted if care is taken on the bank.
The Chub came steadily throughout the afternoon to meat and pellet feeder. During the evening we moved to the last pool in front of the Court. This produced Barbel to 6lb+.
Given the beat is over a mile in length and each of the three sections is bordered by overgrown boundaries it pays to use the car to access the three beats. A couple of hours reconnoitring on a prior occasion would be advisable, as the conditions will very much determine your choice of location. Traditional roaming is not really an option currently in the heat of the summer with ultra low water levels.
We will be back to catch that "double"
