Pleasant day on this lovely stretch.
River was a bit low and sun quite bright but still managed a few on standard feeder/pellet approach from top and middle areas.

5 Barbel, 2 Chub

Poor day for me, others on the stretch did better.

CM. River was low. Tried pellet and meat. Early afternoon tempted a Barbel about 6lb on meat,and just before packing up tempted a nice Chub of 5lb 4 oz on a halibut pellet. PM . Blanked.

Lovely stretch. Air and water temps both better than Sunday and the fishing was somewhat better as a result. Still didn't feel like it was fishing its head off though and we had to work hard for the fish we had. Was our first time on this stretch and would definitely come back. Decent access, nice surroundings and plenty of swims to suit different river conditions. On the day it seemed to be a bit "peggy" and there was a definite pay-off for my fishing partner who tried multiple spots versus me who was lazy and went for the bait and wait approach.

4 Barbel, 8 Chub

A very wet day. All 3 Barbel were over 6lb the best being 8 lbs 5 oz all on feeder & pellet. The sun came out in the evening.

Disappointing day on one of my favourite stretches. Heavy rain didn't materialise which I hoped might rejuvenate the river, but still an enjoyable day.

We could only manage half a day today, so we targeted the Pike in the slower water at the downstream end. Unfortunately it was a bit snaggy in that area, but we did have four takes and landed one 10 lb Pike.

Day two on this great venue, but the fish were proving a little hard to find. Even the Gullies that were fishing our side of the bank by wading across from the other side found it hard going, but eventually we caught a few Chub and I had a lovely 11 lb 4 oz Barbel.

A lovely day on How Caple Court where we were greeted by a very chatty Game Keeper. We caught a few Chub, a lovely 20 lb Pike and a 10 lb 2 oz Barbel.

2nd day on the beautiful beat, but the fishing was very tough going, only one Chub to 4lb and no other bites.
