Enjoyable day with fish caught on a mix of float and feeder.

Fished from mid morning to 6.15 as I was under orders to be back at the hotel in time for dinner.
Had barbel first at 5lb 6oz and lost another soon after that got snagged in my swim. A 3rd barbel was hooked before my line mysteriously parted , possibly due to damage from earlier snag which I hadn’t detected. The bright sun now was at its fiercest and bites came to a halt , moved to another swim that was partly shaded and had 7 chub , best 4lb 2oz. Enjoyable, but I felt I should’ve done better.

Only 3 fishing. Great day with river dropping but still like chocolate.
11 Chub to 6lb 6oz and 14 Barbel to 11lb 10oz
Variety of baits - meat, pellet and caster being the main ones.

The river is dropping quickly but remains high, making it tough to hold bottom. We mainly fished with meat and caught a few eels as well. Our spot was just downstream of the water treatment site.

River in better condition today with most of the debris restricting itself to the far bank flow. 3 of the barbel came within a 1 hour period around mid day.

Directions were easy to follow and found the river rising and so choice of swims was limited. However we found a suitable area where 2 of us could fish. Ended up with Barbel to just over 8lb. A superb days fishing.
