River still very low.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished the Rocks, the Wires and shallows but struggled. River low but weather conditions good. Managed 3 barbel and 2 eels on pellets and meat. Very long walk due to using the gate on right instead of gate on left!

1 barbel 8lb 10oz first cast, then quite all day! Disappointing after Saturday! Overcast all day.

5 barbel caught, all on 14mm halibut pellet over 'time bomb' feeder. All over 7lb 8oz with best at 9lb 10oz. Lost another two, line cut on rock and hook pull. River low with little colour, bright early but overcast later, caught throughout day.

Water dropping, fishing not easy. Alternated between meat & pellet. Straight lead on the meat & feeder with the pellet.

Started out in Boys Rocks but not a touch for 2 hours before the rapidly rising river forced me out. Moved to a swim lower down and had a 5lb barbel first cast but then struggled to fish effectively due to the amount of silkweed and rubbish coming through on a rising river, hanging on the line and dragging the feeder.
In the 7 hours I was there the river rose over 3 feet and was still coming up when I left.
As always though, thoroughly enjoyed the day despite the challenging conditions!

Was only planning an evening session which turned into a short 2 hour session after hitting motorway delays. However, left very happy after managing four barbel to 8lb 6oz from the rocks. Stormy weather made the conditions more favourable than they have been of late though.
First visit here and looks a great stretch from what I managed to glimpse - if you don't mind a bit of a walk. Will definitely be visiting here again.
Many thanks.

2 barbel to me and one to my old man. River bed was plastered in silkweed unlike my last visit a few weeks ago which made presentation difficult, and it was strangely quiet. Normally the rod is rattling constantly from the attentions of chublets and eels but next to nothing today.
At least the salmon put on a fine display as usual, along with a few barbel with aspirations of flight!

River up a few inches, bit more flow with a tinge of colour, looked really good. Tried a few swims but not a bite all day.
