River 0.9m approx and brown, and dropping. Looked OK and started at a swim next to another angler who told me that these swims had produced a good number of barbel recently. Unfortunately not today! We both only caught one each and mine was only about 1lb ( nice to see though) and then nothing so we had to move. My next swim I know always holds barbel but again I struggled for the rest of the day with only one more barbel ( nice size approx. 9lb) and a chub . It did not help the sun shining down on all the river and straight in my face all morning . It was only when the clouds started coming over in the pm that I caught these fish but only over a very short period of time . Unfortunately I had to leave at 5.00pm and I know the fish often switch on here after 6.00pm.
Also the river was very brown and starting to speed up as it dropped increasing the boiling nature of the swims. This stretch is a pleasure to be on and even better in cloudy/wet weather , when the river is high( over 1 metre) and after 6.00pm!

Water was belting through so fishing close in 20 yards from the bank, i used a 4oz feeder filled with hinders barbell bomz groundbait and krill hookbait. Lovely stretch of river and plenty of fish present. I had 5 barbell and 2 chubb and lost a couple of barbell as well. Great stretch of river and will certainly be back

Zero no bites. Lots of trees coming down so could not fish????

River was up over 2m from the day before, but we were able to catch up to 6lb on swimfeeder and pellet in slacker spots. River had fallen by around 1.4m by the end of the day. No sign of any chub.
