All 3 of us fished the first part of the beat. Didn't start fishing until mid morning. Had bites straight away, fishing from the hut peg. Biggest barbell was 12lb 2oz. All fish caught on pellet. Was hard going in the afternoon /early evening. Lovely location will be back.

Fished by hut nice day????????

1 Barbel, 9 Chub

Cold start, then a sunny and warm day. River in good condition, still up a bit and good flow.
During the day fished both upstream of the wood and for a few hours ventured over the hill to fish downstream. Returned above the wood in mid afternoon to fish at the top of the beat just d/stream of the bend. Both barbel were caught from here in the last couple of hours. The chub came from all areas fished throughout the day best was 4lb.
Fished ledgered pellet or small 12mm boils with pellets in a pva bag.

Fished by the hut, with hindsight the water level was probably still a little too high for this particular swim. Eight chub caught to approx 5lb. One barbel hooked but lost.

I knew the levels may be a problem, the hut was too quick, 2 casts with 120gr feeder and is was straight round to the bank, went to the the woods, tried 2 swims for an hour + each, moved to a 3rd and had a chub, could have sat it out but the swim wasnt that safe so called it a day about 1.00pm.

Great day today, river fining down after not being able to fish the previous day due to a wash off at wyebank. Lots of chub and barbel coming to all baits.

Severe overnight storms led to un-fishable conditions, we arrived at 0830 to find a constant torrent of debris and storm damaged trees flying past on a rapidly rising river..we soldiered on to the woods in an attempt to locate any likely looking in close slack areas...however after having lost one barbel on first cast the rest of the day remained actionless..buy the time we left the river had risen over 5 feet..!
