Day of spinning pins trotting for barbel and chub. Walked the length of the fishery 3-4 times trying all spots as fish spread about. Nice to see a couple of very fresh looking 3lb barbel. Great day out but could have left at 2pm as neither of us could get a bite after this, even when cheating and fishing a feeder. Was rather blustery and sun appeared a little though in the afternoon.

River was up slightly from lowest summer levels, slightly coloured. Quite warm and sunny most of the day with some cloud in the morning when most of the chub were caught. Chub caught on float fished meat at the top end in the rocky pool and immediately downstream in the faster water. Fished prebaited swims about half way along the beat in the afternoon. 3 swims produced nothing but the 4th produced an immediate bite and a welcome 5lb barbel from the fastest water. Had to leave early so will be back for those barbel.

Just fished an evening session 4pm-9pm,
2 barbel, 7 chub, all caught trotting apart from one barbel, all from the shallow fast water.
I managed to find a dozen or so barbel and got them feeding on a shallow spot, I just sat and watched them for a hour or so before fishing, it was so nice to see, beautiful stretch of river!

Not a twitch. Nothing. Absolutely dead.

Used every weapon in an admittingly poorly stocked armoury for no return.

I might as well have faced the opposite way and looked at the pretty cows.

Other was kips.
