Very busy day today with a decent amount of chub and 3 nice barbel between 4lb and 7lb

3 Barbel, 11 Chub

Not a lot happening today dropped a Barbel not paying attention missed a lot of bites, one of those days rapped up early .

1 Chub

Two anglers fished and our first time on this stretch so decided to fish the bottom end. Tried various swims and caught the chub in a few of them. One barbel lost otherwise no sign of them.

10 Chub, 1 Other

Very hard day with only a few chub walked the whole stretch up and down the next day was a lot better tho

River in great condition and we managed to find some Barbel. This beat used to have some great swims from the bottom of the hill to just past the gate - none of them are accessible now. It seems strange that the only accessible swims today are opposite another WUF beat - Courtfield, yet the portion of Home Fishery that will never have other fishermen opposite has no access. I might bring my petrol strimmer next time as that is all it would take.

First timer at this venue, walked most of the stretch first and finally started about 7.30am, had a move an hour later much further upstream near the pump as feeling unfamiliar with the beat. By midday still no bites but knew the stretch has plenty of fish yet not even a Chub knock. Finally after trying several baits plus an hour running a float down the middle I went back to feeder but with a very long 5 foot 0.20 leader and 8mm pellet. Rod top went round at 2pm for a 3lb Barbel, soon followed by another. Ended up with 7 Barbel to 8lb 6, and 2 Chub to 4lb 6. Finished about 7.15pm

7 Barbel, 2 Chub

I spent one day on Home fishery catching a single barbel (6 lb) on luncheon meat.
