One had a couple of small chub and lost a barbel at the net another had four chub and I thought I was going to blank! Several large bites early on that resulted in nothing then in the evening managed to catch 2 barbel in the strong flow. Enjoyable battle!! Rather cold wind blowing most of the day, supposed to be July!

River seemed to have dropped a little from yesterday, couldn't fish the rapids as already taken so went to the top end of the fishery, used the same methods as yesterday with a bit more success, long periods between bites
Others dace

There's not loads of swims here but enough to offer a bit of choice. After thoroughly examining both halves of the beat we succumbed to the slightly lazy option of fishing the two swims in the top half of the section next to where the cars are parked.
The benefits of being out in the fresh air were slightly defeated when a chap turned up with a tipper truck and proceeded add the remains of a bed and mattress to the smouldering rubbish pile behind us. These took an hour or so to properly ignite and burn through but fortunately it was a breezy day and the smoke was generally blown away rather than towards us.
The fishing was fairly steady with one rod catching all of the Barbel whilst the other chose to spend the afternoon on the lower section of the beat where plenty of good sized Chub were caught.

Difficult day of fishing, windy, river normal with a little colour. Fished 0900 to 1800 on the lower section, beach area below the bridge. 3 small chub and 1 around 4lb. Tried float, rolling meat and feeder/ pellet through the day. Had one barbel take late afternoon but it slipped off the hook. A beautiful stretch that looks so ‘Fishy’ but left a little disappointed.
