Warm and overcast with a good level and bit of colour. First time here having seen it from the Creel side. Booked two on here and two on the Creel (only 3 fished due to Covid) and swapped at lunchtime. 8 chub between the 3 that fished here (one blanked) so not the success of recent anglers, and no signs of barbel. A variety of feeder and bomb tactics employed.

8 Chub

Great access - thanks owner to the 3 or 4 swims easily accessible. River though clear had a brown stained appearance - algae? Couldnt see the weed but caught up with lots of bright green weed on the hook - good sign.

Chub to mainly meat feeder(one on pellet) with some on the float - the biggest to 5lb on stick float and tare over hemp loose feed. Late barbel - about 7lb and in pristine condition to meat feeder. Left about 4 as pub beckoned after a hot day. Must try the evening sometime.
Other fish were small chub, dace and huge bleak on tare or corn.

River levels at 0.71 on the Ross gauge. The river was dropping after a bunch of rain a few days before. I decided once I got there I would pre bait a few swims and try and nick a bite as quickly as possible. It took a while to get a bite and my 3rd swim move I finally had a chub. The spot I dropped the most bait into I started fishing at 10:00am and by 10:30 I’d had 2 barbel and 8 chub. The spot was rocking. It dried up fairly quickly tho so I put a bit more bait in and left it for an hour. It wasn’t until 15:00pm that I managed another barbel.

River carrying approx18 inches extra and a nice colour as the only angler booked on the day I prebaited six swims and fished them in rotation,chub seemed to be feeding from the start ranging from 2lb up to 5lb 8oz one solitary Barbel of 5lb 8oz late in the day.Just a note to thank the landowner for building the new steps on the right hand bank making swim access easier.
