Another enjoyable day here , weather was kind , overcast but very mild and humid . River was up a bit from my last visit but still manageable.
Two early takes here then it goes quiet, then you get a flurry ,goes quiet again seems to be the theme here but I wouldn’t change it for the world . Dusk always throws up a mad burst to . All caught on pellet . Great day ! So peaceful

After beating that hill again, we settled in the top field for the morning, feeling that the woods swim would not be accessible.

The river was up from summer levels, fast and steady with a tinge of colour.

We caught steadily, barbel to 6lb and chub to 4lb before moving to the near field late afternoon, fishing by the hut. This produced a couple of chub and the largest barbel of the day of 7lb 12oz which fought like a tiger in the flow.

All fish were caught on the bottom with a mix of lead and feeder, meat, pellet and boilie.

A slow morning fishing from the rocks with no bites at all. Some extra water and colour in the river. Moving several times brought results with beautiful chub to 6 lbs falling to bread on the float and to method feeder. A few additional swims would be welcome in the first field as much of the bank is inaccessible. Thanks for a lovely day on the river WUF.

Fished downstream below the wood. Accessing the swim was difficult and would be impossible in wet weather. However, river stunning as usual, weather great and a superb days fishing topped by a 9 1/4lb barbel, along with a 6 1/2lb and a 7lb.

Enjoyable day as always, I’ll be returning to this stretch, hopefully when river is running slower. Needs more up keep to allow safer and clearer access to river.

We only only fished the evening and due to the levels the wooded area below lucky stone wasn't accessible, we opted to fish the the first few swims below and were rewarded with 10 chub all of a good size 4-5lb and a barbel to 8.5-9lb
Note. This has a long walk involving some steep hills due to no access through the woods so travel lights but enjoy
