Fished late afternoon into evening. Lost decent barbel on final cast of the day. My first time on this beat so a learning curve but some classic barbel looking runs. It's a bit of a scramble along the bank to get down to the gravel areas if you are of slightly advancing years. Not sure how accessible this stretch would be when river levels are up.

Probably one of the most picturesque stretches in the river and in the past it’s given me some really decent size fish .
It can be at times hard going and is very snaggy , prepare to loose a few feeders but with the right approach and you put the work n the rewards can be awesome
Sadly no bars of gold on this occasion but a few chub did grace the net

The two barbel were 5lbs and just over 3lbs and caught in the upper pool on consecutive casts on rolling meat early in the morning. A 2lb chub also followed in quick succession before the sun came out and it got too bright. Moving down river to the next pool gave 2 more chub on meat. Then moved onto the lower pool where 1 more chub was caught. A good day overall but some big gaps between fish.

A hard day. Started well with 2 chub early on from the top pool to rolling meat. Then no bites for several hours. Too hot and bright. One further chub of 3 1/2 lbs at 2pm. All fish caught on meat. No bites on pellet. Canoeists were a problem with 3 canoes actually crashing into me even though I was only standing in 6 inches of water. One double canoe capsized directly in the swim. Hilarious!One family took my rod rests out and the rod and nearly myself went in the water. Many of them have no idea how to steer. I’m all for people enjoying the river but the lack of courtesy for other river users got rather tedious. Perhaps W&U foundation could have a word with the canoe companies.
