A great day with 3x lovely barbel - two 9IB and 8Ib.

The weather was hot with bright sunshine and a river very low and looking decidedly green.
The fishing predictably was difficult with one Barbel being landed at the death.

One lovely Barbel and 5 eels, two of a good size. Beautiful location!

Frustrating day just below Bibbins bridge, opposite the beach. Struggled to find a swim that was accessible and would accommodate 2 of us. Plagued by eels. Didn't seem to matter what we put on the hook, it produced eels. My son caught one very small barbel.

Basically a rekkie trip . Entered from the downstream end. Road access is good along the long strech but there are a few junctions where you have to make a decision. We are all senior citizens and found access to the waterside vert difficult. Maybe 1 swim at the bottom end by the island with a rope. Then a long stretch of sluggish water till you get to the suspension bridge where again you would need a rope to access the good looking swims there. We avoided the rope swing swing knowing what would happen when the walkers arrived. Many of them on a friday.
We settled at the top end because of easy steps downstream of the slalom course. We had 4 chub and 3 eels before leaving at lunchtime. Like to return but despite the ease of vehicular access the access to the river is a challenge. Left by the upstream gate - much easier.
