13 Barbel, 3 Chub

Barbel 5 - 8 lbs
6 “others”.
Gave pellet a try at first but not a tap. Flavoured (spiced) meat got their attention. Inevitably, eels were interested in the meat but persisted with it and barbel bites started to come.

1 Barbel caught on flavoured meat, 2 barbel lost & 1 other (chub or eel?) Due to debris coming down.
Only fished for 2hrs as rain made banks very very slippery, just about made it out (on all fours!!)
Gutted as the Barbel were really on the feed! Lesson learned. Spikes on boots reqd! Love this beat,never disappoints.

Water was high enough to rule out several swims but still there were a total of 6 anglers on both banks. The fish came from no more than 2-3 rod lengths out inside the crease. Pellets were ignored. Paprika flavoured Spam got their interest. (Two swims down anglers caught 3 barbel on pellets…)
Barbel nudging double figures middle of the day and a five pounder as the light started to fade late afternoon. Others were eels, one c. 3lbs.

Very tough conditions as river levels very high, between us we managed 2 barbel and 2 eels. Will be back when the levels are a lot lower!
