Very poor 3 days of fishing. The river was clear and with a drop in temperature I am sure the fish were hibenating! No real bites apart from 2 chub. We were using pellets and feeders, and saw several kingfishers.

A tough day for me as I blanked! My friend managed 2 barbel and 2 chub, but had to work hard for it. We started by climbing cardiac hill and fishing beyond the wood, but switched to the other side later on in the afternoon. This is a lovely stretch, and worth a visit, but the walk to the other side of the wood is hard work.
2 Barbel, 2 Chub

River low and clear, everyone struggled to catch. The chub including a nice 5lb specimen were caught in the first swim downstream of the woods on luncheon meat.

Most of the day was very quiet, started in the deep water below the wood, then had a few hours in the wood fishing the faster water, all to no avail. Finally settled in the 1st swim below the wood early afternoon and caught all the fish from there after 5pm. Best barbel was 8lb 4ozs. Very pleasant day.

A second difficult day on a very low and clear river, started in the wood and floatfished bead again hoping for a chub or two. One bite was all I could muster off a nice fish that shed the hook halfway in! I then sat trying for a barbel but no bites were forthcoming so in the afternoon a move to the top field was tried as there were no anglers on the other side again. I started o the float and bread but could not raise a bite anywhere I tried in the top field. I spent the rest of the afternoon fishing for babel in a couple of swims and eventually having just the single fish around the 5lbs mark late in the day. Feeder and pellet the method. (possibly the wrong one?)
I did remove a large amount of line off the bank that some moron had left, they had clearly stripped it off their reel and stuffed it into the grass, why? Surely it is nothing to pop it into your bag and take it home? With the number of people that walk dogs on this particular stretch it is asking for problems if this type of thing happens.
