7 Barbel, 4 Chub

1 good Chub circa 4lb on halibut pellet. River was low and a lot of swan activity but looked a good stretch would try again

1 Chub

1 barbel and 5 chub on feeder tactics in low water conditions.

The river looks a bit more healthier upstream but no weed! Weather hot and river low and clear.
2 Anglers fished beat 4 and didn't register a bite! 2 Anglers on beat 2 with marginally better results.
All fish caught were small Chub float fished on the centre pin which as always a great way to fish.

8 Chub

River still low and neading rain. Started off on beat 2 on the bottom of the rapids but only had one small chub. Moved around the bend at 2.00 too a deep pool nearly opposite the Boatman pub, and by 5.30 had had 1x 4lb barbel and 4 small chub on small pieces of luncheon meat, between us. Canoes ok in morning but busy in afternoon. Had a couple of salmon jumping right out of the water in front of us! Will have another go in the winter as this area looks very pikey!
