Struggled a bit during the day and only picked up the odd chub on feeder tactics. Caught a few barbel towards the end of the day also on feeder. Fished various swims on the island section at the back of the beat.

River had dropped rapidly from the previous few days but was still over the croys. Able to fish with heavy feeders and pellets in beautiful Autumn and despite a brisk early morning frost several barbel plus chub put in an appearance. Lovely day.

Arrived at 930am after breakfast at sainsburys (7am open) David and I decided to bait a few swims as the river was low and getting the fish feeding confidently was essential. It was great fishing from the word go, barbel and chub falling to both pellets and sweet boilies. When we stopped for lunch I decided to swap rods and set up my old mark1v split cane rod and see how it could handle a barbel, it was fantastic, fish were taking on the drop and the fight on the old rod was unreal. We kept moving from peg to peg to keep the fish feeding. The biggest barbel was just under 9lb and the biggest chub 5lb8oz another great day on this stretch. We will be back soon. A well kept stretch. Stayed at Hereford travelodge cheapish but no brekkie but next to sainsburys which does.
