River on the way down after being very high the previous few days. Was very mild overnight and during the day.. Caught it spot on for Barbel fishing though I persisted with the Pike gear for the majority of the day to no avail. Managed a couple of Barbel and a couple of Chub late afternoon into the evening.
Great day on the river.

Was looking forward to fishing this beat for the first time. However, woke up to find the river had risen over 2 metres overnight and turned chocolate coloured, so completely unfishable.

3 barbel upto 7.14 and 2 chub to 4.11

As it fished well yesterday two of us came back today. Same weather and river conditions. I managed to catch a 5.08 barbel today to go with 4 chub on meat or maggot. SM didn't catch his first fish till 1500 but added another 5 after that all on meat and all over 3lb. Again a lovely day.

Mild start to Feb with the river at 0.5m with a good flow and a hint of colour. Had 3 nice chub early but moved after a biteless hour and a half. Started catching again early afternoon and added another 6 chub with the biggest over 5lb and the rest all a good stamp. Caught on maggot, meat and cheesy garlic dumbells. A lovely winter days fishing.

Very cold day, even colder overnight. River running low and fairly clear. First time pike fishing in a long time. Had one run on deadbait late in afternoon but did not connect.
Great part of the river though, with some slow steady parts and some faster streamy water. Even a beach... sort of.
