Five barbel and one eel fishing the feeder down the near side crease unable to fish far side due to amount of canoes many of which were drunk and all over the river shouting screaming swearing and jumping in with no respect for other river users.

Ledger fished pellet over a bed of groundbait produced 2 barbel of 7lb 2oz and 6lb in difficult conditions. Blazing sunshine and boat traffic made it far from ideal but lovely stretch, easy parking close to the waters edge.

Excellent Day at Thomas Wood Fished feeder with pellets. 1st cast 4lb chub...followed by a 2lb barbel…..fish fed in bursts...caught between 12:00 and 15:00 and then again from 18:00-20:00. In all 10 chub to just under 5lb and 14 barbel with three just under 10lbs between 3 of us! River looked in top nick!

Good day had by all 3 anglers, all caught from different areas of the stretch. Twait or Alice shad (not sure) on an 8mm pellet.

What a fantastic place to sit and wait for bites. Scenery and wildlife outstanding. Unfortunately despite what looked like perfect conditions we found it very difficult to locate and catch fish.

Only one swim accessible and could only fish one rod in the slack margin. Produced 1 chub and 1 barbel to 3lb. Plenty of knocks throughout the day, but no further hook ups. Fishing on pellets and meat. River very high and fast.
