Despite river conditions looking good we could only tempt two small chub.One or two more swims could do with opening up here.

2 Chub

River conditions were a little cloudy but good, all caught on feeder and boilie in the meadows. Barbel 8lb 6oz. Chub 4lb and an eel of about 1.5 lb.

Could possibly do with a little strimming of the path between woods and meadow as the brambles were hard work with all the kit you take but did not detract from the day.

A couple of late barbel in the session. I tried for pike but nothing came to my lures today. I spotted an otter in the swim and shortly afterwards hooked an eel. The otter grabbed the eel halfway in and gave a great account of itself! Fortunately it had grabbed the eel by it’s tail and I was able to land the eel which was returned bloodied but still fighting fit.

With the river rising there was a mix of weed and grass being brought down which meant stepping up weights and/or feeders. I switch to pike fishing around the middle of the day and had one on the lure and dropped one.
The barbel and chub came between 2pm and 6pm

Fished up in the field, caught 3 barbel between us early in the session. Caught in halibut pellet with large feeders. Loose feed halibuts over the top. Caught 1 barbel each late on in the session at dish once we moved upstream.

River in fine condition after recent rain and fish were feeding most of the day. Fished the 1st swim upstream from the wooded section using meat - caught 1 decent chub and 3 barbel (7 to 8 lb) but lost another 4 due to a snag about a 3rd the way across that they seemed to aim for. A good but frustrating and expensive day!

Very beautiful beat, but limited number of swims that have been maintained enough to be accessible. Very hard going with not even a nibble until mid afternoon when we managed a bag a nice barbel and a small chub from upper end of the beat
