River in good order, not too many leaves coming down. Plenty of action from chub all day. Nothing on pellets, but using feeder and a bunch of maggots they were on it as soon as the bait hit the water. Caught a few fish trotting maggots too.
Hook pulled out of a very big fish (typical), but no other sign of barbel. A change of swim may have located one or two.

River looked good expected better but still enjoyed it, barbel about 7lb chub just over a pound a piece.

Fished the bottom end and disappointed with the swims - for about 200 yards only one swim safe to fish and even that was treacherous - very long landing net pole essential and even then a struggle to land fish and not fall in on most pegs I saw.

I’m going to take a stake and rope next outing please all be very careful especially if fishing alone

Difficult first things but improved in the afternoon as fish started to feed. Barbel caught last light.

Very hard day still a few nice fish.
Very dangerous after all the overnight rain both went over a few times other than that it is a really nice stretch of river and have already booked up for the summer.

Didn't rain here overnight but somehow the river had come up over a foot !. The visability was not too bad so I decided to give it a go. Couldn't get to any of the better spots but still managed to fluke out a grayling of 12". Bit of an issue parking, the owner has put up a sign now telling you where to park and has then left 2 cars in it! . I sqeezed in next to them but I was half across the driveway. The rest of yard was just full of all Manor of stuff!

River was carrying alot of water and pushing through quickly. Mainly feeder fished no more than two to three rod lengths out. Fish caught on meat and boilie. Lost one large barbel also.

Difficult conditions with 2' on the Erwood guage. Managed to find one or wadeable spots: just above the hut and down on the ferry pool.
