River looked perfect, but hard going very quiet.

River in perfect trim good levels and a little colour, weather bright sunshine and warm. Started with a swim in the middle of the beat and had a small Chub first cast then nothing for an hour and a half. Moved upstream a few swims and quickly into fish and took five barbel in five casts !!??. Had four more spread through the afternoon. Pellet feeder with pellet hookbait took all the fish . A real red letter day.

River looked good for a few fish normal levels but still a little colour .Fished a swim in the middle of the beat. Had to wait until 4.30pm for a bite which resulted in a nice barbel. Hooked another next cast but unfortunately the book pulled at the net. Feeder fished pellet with mixed size pellet and hemp in the feeder was used.

Hard day despite great conditions. Fished quite a few swims, fish found in the slack water near the bank

Tough day on a swollen river. Forced to fish the back eddy on the bend at the bottom of the beat where apart from the odd barbel and chub lots of eels had taken up residence.
Bait was halibut pellets and flavoured meat.

River up 2 ft today. I tried a feeder and corn and caught 6 nice sized chub and a smallish barbel, all during the day, changed to boilie later in the day and again caught a barbel as dusk fell. My friend caught 3 barbel up to 8lb 14oz also lost one at the net.
