Managed to get car up the hill in between rain showers. 4 barbel to 9.5lb was a bonus.

5lb and 6lb caught on medium Halibut pellets on a ledger rig.

Track down to the bank is steep and rough and only really suitable for a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Less than half a dozen useable swims on the stretch with the river at the height we experienced. Plenty of Barbel and Chub present, also eels if using meat.

Rained all day but fishing was good throughout. Drive back up the hill afterwards was hairy without 4x4 and we had to leave one car on the bank overnight. Lots of varied water to choose from but so disappointing that access to much of it is impossible. The long meadow section at the start of the beat is about 10' above the water with no way of landing a fish. This puts added pressure on the few recognisable swims and these were very muddy as a result of the weather and frequent use.

Early start river was colured and dropping fished a feeder size 10 hook feeding plenty of hemp. No big Chub all around the 3lb mark but did have some decent Barbel.

Great day on the river. Ross reading was 0.800 and falling. Plenty of colour in the river. Started out sunny , then clouded over with showers. 4 barbel , 2 between 7-8lbs 1 at 9lbs and one just over 10lbs.
4 chub caught , all around 3-4lbs except 1 which was a PB at 6lb 1oz biggest chub I’ve caught by a long shot!
All caught on 14mm pellets, cheesy garlic, krill and spicy sausage………..didn’t seem to matter. Also used cheesy garlic groundbait.
