Feedback & Reports

Lovely day out in lovely weather River still coloured but at a stable level , probably a foot or two above normal. Anyway started fishing by the car park on the crease a third of the way over. Chub seemed keen in the sun with some fantastic specimens and PBs for me up to or above 5lb plenty in the 4lb bracket. Not to sniffed at and fought well putting in a good impression of barbel. On a hybrid soft pellet

The barbel were very large and fought like tigers coming later on in the day half way or more across in the very fast water. A day to remember and back next Monday for round two

2 Barbel, 20 Chub

River dropped two foot during the day with floating debris making it hard work later on. All fish caught from pegs in field furthest downstream on coated meat. Worth the risky decent to swims with a dog spike and strong rope.

Fished the bottom field and what a difference a day and change of swims can make, river was still dropping but the barbel
had switched off and the chub on. Had 5 between 3=5lb same tactics as Friday

What a difference a day makes ! River falling rapidly and the barbel were on the feed, 12 Barbel to 10lb 10oz and a single Chubb bang on 5lb. Pellet and feeder accounted for all fish, a very big thank you to Stefan who made sure we were on the fish and knew how to tempt them.

River continued to rise steadily from the previous day. Only stopped rising at about 17:00 just below the top of the bank. Holding bottom with 6-8oz leads just off the slacks.
11 Barbel and 2 Chub caught. If you could find them they were still feeding. Excellent couple of days on this very consistent and well managed beat.
