Arrived in the afternoon for a quick evening session. River looked in good condition and had plenty of accessible swims available.
Had two Barbel in the witching hour. Lovely stretch of water which I’m sure will produce even more in the right conditions.

Fished okay but very disappointed with the non-existent pegs! Everywhere very overgrown and we were not forewarned that we would need to dig out own pegs and cut the foliage back.

Opposite pump station. 10 in first 10 chucks. All but one smaller than average maybe 4lb one about 8. Lost a couple on inside snag. Then river came up at least a foot and trees were floating down. No bites for 2 hours. Cast around a bit into slacks but nothing. Decided to pack up so last cast (by this stage needed 120g feeder to hold in flow) and rod ripped round wish I’d had scales as def pb I think it would have gone 12. Then suddenly another 3 all round about doubles. All on 10mill dumbbell, usual pellet ground bait mix in feeder. Sure smaller baits, long hooklinks and small hooks were key although did mean losing a few.
