3 Barbel, 28 Chub

Sunny start with slight breeze and a 16 degree water temperature. I picked Wyebank for the season start as the water channels through a fast run so when the rest of the nearby stretches are sluggish there's always oxygenated flow here. You have to walk the croys or wade to get to it. Not yesterday as it was 0.7 at the start and all but a metre by the time I left. It's not an easy place to fish in high water. That said I had 5 chub over 3lb and a £ and half lb barbel and lost a couple, and the only 90g feeders (GB and big pellets) I'd brought with me in the very rocky bottom mid river. Still a very enjoyable day and SO good to be back!

River rose about 0.3m overnight and it was pushing through quite strongly. Had a small chub and 5lb barbel in the morning but then it went very quiet before I had to leave at 5pm.

Lovely day, beautiful setting, slow fishing, very snaggy!

I fished both a feeder and a flat lead on the day. I caught 2 Chub pretty early in the session, I forgot my scales but gave myself 4lb for both of them, after that the stretch fell quiet. Only limited access to the river with approximately 6-7 swims, some more need to be cut out and make more of the stretch accessible. Only having 4 people fishing the stretch is ideal just more access needed.
Lots of flow on the river.

So disappointed with the previous day we went elsewhere.

Very difficult conditions with bright conditions from the getgo, beautiful place to be none the less
