Swimfeeder with halibut pellet. All barbel and chub were small - up to 1lb

14 Barbel, 8 Chub

2 anglers .14 chub on swim feeder and trotting, never seen wye so low

14 Chub

I fished the bottom swim using various methods (trotting and on the bottom). I had 9 Barbel up to 8lb 6oz (7 around 6oz) with a few chub thrown in. The low water conditions and large amount of kayak traffic made it difficult, but it was funny watching people keep bashing to the same rock...I even rescued one of them that got trapped :D The bigger Barbel turned up after 18:00.

A more productive day than yesterday. Overcast weather conditions. Chub caught to 4.5lb and barbel to 5lb. Really enjoyed fishing here this weekend.

Two anglers fishing. Started at dawn. Weather conditions: clear all day and very bright. The water level was low. Armada of canoeists from 10am-4pm, none causing big issues but couldn't fish the far bank. We stayed at the middle peg throughout the day with little success until 5pm where two small chub were caught. Moved to the end peg for the remaining couple of hours and caught chub and barbel to 3-4lb. Great end to the fishing session. Beautiful fishing location, nice scenery and bird life including kingfishers and buzzards.

I didn’t start fishing till 3pm, I had intended to feeder fish which is what I did for an hour taking 2 small barbel, but watching my mate on the Cory above catching every put through with rolling meat, prompted me to get the stick float out & it was pretty much constant action, fishing meat, I had 2 barbel around 4lb. 1 about 6 then all the rest between 1 & 2lb, most of the chub were bigger than the barbel.

Water level as low as I've seen it, but meant you could stand right on the end of the top croy without waders, like rolling meat so decided to have a go. dropped into the hole on the edge first cast and an instant take from a chub about 4lb, from then on it was manic, almost a fish a cast. All barbel were small max about 3lb but most of the chub were decent up to 4.5lb. never bothered to get the feeder rod out. fished from 3pm to just after 7pm. Word of warning if your booked here, the path from the parking area has become a bit overgrown and difficult to see your footing, due to people bypassing it by walking along the road to get to the bottom swim
