Didn't fish. River level too high

Didnt fish due to poor weather

A wet, cold and snowy day made good by a few bites and a tidy 9lb 8oz barbel and a 1lb 6oz grayling. A lovely beat with every type of swim you could ask for when barbel fishing. The only downside being the hill you need to go down (and back up). Please bear in mind that if you don’t have a 4x4 vehicle you will struggle to get down and back up safely in wet conditions no ifs or buts you will struggle. This is no criticism of the WUF or the land owner just and observation

1 Barbel, 1 Other

There were plenty of accessible swims as the water level was low. The water was very clear so I spent most of my time in the deeper swims. Annoyingly lost a decent Barbel to a snag first cast of the day, but after that had 7 chub, the largest of which was just over 5lb. All fish caught using feeder and either pellet or meat on the hook/hair. The penultimate chub was lucky to escape an attack from a large pike as I was netting it. Lovely beat on an amazing river.

7 Chub

Tough day saved at the end with a chub on trotted bread. 4lb 12oz.

Nothing, water clear and low

2 chub 3lb

Tough day, temperature was forecast to be good which it was, but once the sun shone I stopped getting bites…… water was very clear, I’d hoped there maybe a little more colour in it but no. Just the single chub to just over 4lb which was a nice fish…. Caught on homemade cheese paste.
