Other was an eel. Usual number of canoes, now added to by paddleboarders, but died down after 16.00. The evening however brought large groups of paddleboarders and swimmers out making a lot of noise. A consequence of lockdown?

only two fished on the day, wood stretch very low and dropping throughout day. feeder fished, shorter hook links more productive. crab or krill based bait most effective. Most fish came from pipe swim 3/4+ out. Weather humid and mostly overcast. barbel from 4lb to 8lb.

Arrived at just after 6am, the river was falling and around 0.8m at Ross. The water was still fairly coloured.
I decided to fish the wooded section, where under the water conditions, there was one fishable swim. The fishing was fairly slow throughout the day, and the canoe/inflatable and wake boarding traffic was pretty much non-stop until 6pm, most were courteous, but for a couple of groups I had to wind in.
During the main part of the day, I caught 3 Barbel, best around 7lb and one Chub.
During the evening the Chub started a small flurry of feeding, with a couple of them around the 5lb mark.
All fish were caught using a feeder and Halibut pellet as hook bait.
The evening time was lovely on this stretch, once the road and river traffic subsided.
Thank you again for the river access and an overall good days fishing.

Poor evenings fishing as the river was in flood, spent a couple of hours trying but too difficult. Caught a small Eel and 3 small chub before surrendering to the conditions
