Nice day lovely beat. No fish ????

2 Chub

River level falling in the morning had two barbel and a couple of eels!!! Midday the level started rising and went a bit reddish/orange?? Never had another bite but a lovely day nonetheless.

2 Barbel, 2 Other

River very high which limited options in terms of swims. Managed a barbel around the 6lb mark and a decent chub just under 5lb.

The river was up and coloured as expected but between the 3 of us managed some good sport mainly from the bottom end.
Very friendly and helpful gamekeeper/bailiff.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is now parking at the lower end of the beat but you are better off reversing down the track (or reversing back up it) during the winter months as turning your car around can pose a problem - I speak from experience and have a 4x4. Thanks for the push everyone!

Tricky conditions,water was dropping through the day but current was strong, moved about all day fishing in the edge for all fish on boilie fished on a feeder set up. Was visited by a red squirrel during the day which was nice to see, high air temperature made for a lovely day.

River at 2.6 at Ross, higher than I've fished MHC before, but with a morning temp of 13.5 degrees making it feel more like September than Februrary, I was hopeful. JC was on the bottom field straight so I dropped into the bottom slack that has held chub recently and odd barbel. Apart from pulling out of something first bung I only had knocks and taps not amounting to anything fir the next 3 hours on both gb and maggot feeders. As it's the best looking swim in these conditions I gave it 10 more minutes chucking the maggot feeder down the end of the slack. Two 7lb barbel in 2 bungs followed by a 3lber half hour later made it a brill day already. I fancied a go at the top swim so moved after a chat with JC who'd had a small barbel and 2 chub from slacks further up on meat. One bite was all from the top swim but JC had a 7 and an 8 from the slack to make it 3 - 3 on barbel and a really satisfying day where the promised rain didn't amount to much.
