Arrived at 6am hoping to get a barbel before the chub moved in river was still up and coloured but dropped about 6 inches while I was fishing,the only barbel came on my third cast then as usual it was chub after chub in the 3lb -4lb range and 2 at 5lb 4oz and 5lb 9oz until I left at 12am.Groundbait feeder with hemp and pellet and meat on the hook accounted for all fish.

Lovely days fishing.
All fish caught on the feeder rods as the river was up and coloured.

Really fun day and 2 personal bests for Chub and Barbel. Great fishing and wonderful wildlife in an extremely peaceful setting. But the path to the pegs at the end of the stretch desperately needs the undergrowth trimming back. Walking down there with an electric fence on one side and brambles, nettles and overhanging trees sticking out into the path and catching your gear and rods isn't appropriate. It should be comfortably wide enough for an angler to walk the whole stretch carrying their gear (rod bag, carry bag, net and chair) and at a lot of points towards the end of the beat it's not even half that. I'd like to come back but not if this isn't addressed. A few kayaks who were all very respectful and courteous.

Late afternoon evening session arrived at 3-30 and fished until 8 hoping to pick up a barbel but unfortunately another chub fest at Holme lacy 17 chub between 3 and 4lb and one worth weighing at 5lb 9oz groundbait feeder with hemp and pellets and meat on the hook accounted for all fish.The path could still do with some maintenance brambles everywhere.

Another great day on HL3
Decent conditions on the day and constant sport. All fish in great condition and returned strongly. Barbel later in the day.

Was really pleased to get a day here as it's normally fully booked. Many years since I fished it and has certainly changed - much less open bank but still loads of easily accessable swims. Mate fished off one of the croys, I took the long walk to bottom section, which is now quite a tight walk between trees & barbed wire fence. Still a lovely beat and look forward to hopefully fishing it again.
