both large fish on a quite day with a low river

2 Barbel

Keeping mobile, rolling meat throughout the stretch produced 3 barbel to 9LB and 12 good sized chub to 5.5LB

3 Barbel, 5 Chub

Only fished till midday, but landed a new pb barbel of 8lb 9oz on crab pellet. Well maintained beat , lower stretch too far for me to walk so only wished upper stretch

Started just before midday on a mild and bright day and had a barbel 1st cast then just when you’re thinking here we go you’re brought back to reality and nothing happened for the next 3-4hrs ! Tried another swim and had another barbel then back to my original swim and a chub promptly snagged me up so moved all my gear back to the 2nd swim and in the last hour someone flipped a switch as I ended up with four barbel to just under 8lb and 3 chub to exactly 5lb as well as another big chub slipping the hook. So a good session had ! What I would say is check your hooklink every cast as the rocks cause damage. Definitely return. Good to meet the ghillie Mick. The bailiff has made a difference to this stretch regarding swims it’s a shame some other stretches don’t have that personal involvement

4 Barbel, 3 Chub

Arrived early morning in very foggy conditions. The river looked good with a bit of pace and good colour. Fished one peg only and caught 3 barbel of almost identical size 7lb 2oz, 2 Chubb at 4lb and 1 smaller.
Sun came out at around 12.30 and bites dried up but started again latish afternoon. A thoroughly enjoyable day.

Caught barbel after advice from a fellow angler on same beat, both caught on 12mm crab pellet , biggest 7lb , lovely stretch and ropes down to swims a great help.

After reading recent catch reports we expected a cracking day but alas not to be. That’s fishing!!
