Very nice day, lovely beat, river came up over night. Had a few chub to 3lb. Should be a very goog stretch for summer barbel. WUF very helpful, many thanks.

1 pike around 9lbs on sardine. Not a touch for the rest of the day.

After a fair walk down to the fishery we arrived at a long picturesque stretch of river with plenty of choice of accessible pegs. Often the deep water is on the near bank which avoids the need for long casts. It was a cold day, the overnight frost hanging on well into the morning and although I caught chub right from the start, the pike were on the rampage and I lost three hooklengths to the voracious predators chasing the fish and bait.
We both moved, George well downstream to a great looking glide ending under a big tree where he landed 5 good sized chub. I moved back to the weir pool and caught another 5 chub on bread flake.
A pleasant day's fishing in lovely surroundings which will be a must for barbel in the summer.

A dozen chub to around 4lbs on legered flake. Cracking beat, can't wait for the summer.
