River level low. Water fairly clear and good to see more weed growth than previous years. All fish caught on meat and pellets from the faster water. Barbel quite lean fish between 4lb and 7lb. Best Chub 4lb.

Hot sunny weather and a very low coloured river. Lots of little Chub, 2 Barbel late afternoon. Hats of to the Bailiff or Landowner for the preparation of the swims, brilliant job.

Nice to be back on the river even if it was a wet day. 1 barbel and 2 chubb caught to luncheon meet, the other barbel was to a boillie, all in the middle part of the lower end of the beat.

Very nice to see the work put in to clear the swims giving plenty of space to spread your gear out, canoes were a slight hindrance s as they were close to the back so having to shout out when lines were in the water.

Fished feeder and float with pellet / corn etc from 4.30am to 11am with no interest. High temperatures and river relatively low. Decided enough was enough and left at midday. Lovely stretch of river and well maintained fishing access. Will certainly fish here again.

Barbel caught on Bacon Grill. Chub on casters. Be careful on the bank it’s slippery. I used a rope and spike.

Slow going considering the level and colour.

The river level was normal to low for time of year, about 1ft visibility. It was quite mild but rained all day. Started fishing on the crease in the bottom swims which produced an eel on cheesepaste but otherwise was strangely quiet on the feeder and lead. Tried bread, meat and pellet with no success. Roved upstream and caught good chub (3-4lb) from undercut banks. Moved back to the crease at the bottom for the afternoon and started to get knocks on boilie. Was hoping for a barbel. However, the rain and wind intensified and we gave up around 4pm when the brollies took off! Fantastic wildlife - a flock of siskins, chiffchaff, redpoll, Barnacle goose, goosander and buzzards kept us entertained despite the weather.
