9 Barbel, 3 Chub

Nothing substantial, chub up to around 3lb 8 every 15 minutes or so once I got the method right. Then it was time to go. Lovely place.The cacophony of wildlife sound at the end of the day was something to behold

A difficult start to the day as one of us (not me!) misjudged the conditions in dealing with the flooded bit of track and got his car stuck. Many thanks go to Allyson at WUF for reporting our predicament to the landowner, them for responding, and the ever brilliant Stefan for towing the car out with a tractor.
That apart, conditions looked perfect for this time of year: high and dropping, loads of colour, 8.1 water temp. I blanked from a normally reliable swim but Steve managed two barbel of 3 and 5lb from two different swims on feeder and 10mm halibuts, both in the few few casts after starting. Good chat with two nice lads from Windsor, and help from the fifth chap with my car slipping - we really are a pretty decent bunch us anglers.

River running at 2.5m on Ross gauge, air temp 7-9 degrees C.
I fished solely at the lower end and between rain, bites were not exactly prolific. Caught 4 chub to around 4lb on maggot feeder or meat on GB feeder. Lovely well kept venue kept by Stefan which I assume accounts in part for the price increase on this beat. To be fair this beat has more fishable swims than many other WUF venues.
