Fished from 10am till 7pm in baking hot weather.
Wasn’t expecting much as it was very sunny but the chub kept me interested throughout the day!
It all started around 11:00 with a lovely Barbel 9lb 11oz (on pellet and feeder) and then had chub until 5:30ish, when I had another barbel.
Ending up with 4 barbel and 7 good sized chub all on pellet from the lower field.
A good day considering the conditions.

Lovely stretch, amazing amount of geese and lovely views and environment in general.
Not quite the “red letter” experience of others in recent weeks, however some fish landed and sporadic knocks.
Note that I left before “the witching hour”

Overcast for much of the day and slightly cooler than the previous day. The barbel proved to be difficult to locate but the chub were very obliging with most over 3lb up to 4.09. All fish were caught using a feeder with either pellet or boilie as bait.

Really lovely day at the Creel. Fished two new swims for me this time. Tried the fast water upstream in the morning, had a couple of nice chub but not any barbel. Too quiet, not many knocks, maybe better there early season. Moved to lower meadow in the afternoon, nice mid pace swim, bit of white water and plenty of far side cover, caught steadily for the rest of the day on feeder and balsa. Had a barbel second chuck, good sign. All chub on the float fished meat, not a single chub on the feeder. All the barbel came to feeder fished boilie and oozing pellets. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, wild life as always was amazing. Not many canoes either, the ones that came past were extremely pleasant.
