Good day - fish cooperated, We used two methods - with the baskets and pebble both - they both worked well.We used pellets and boili.In the afternoon the water level began to rise and the river was carrying a lot of natural sediment which made it a little difficult to fish.

Arrived to see the river rising fast. Pitty because I saw a few fish moving in 20min of fishing I managed. Grand chat with the ghillie, Glyn. Thank you.

River high and coloured, no fish caught but lovely day.

We arrived at dawn. The river was up, coloured and bombing through. 1 small barbel caught 1st cast, then nothing again until late afternoon when the fish switched on. 8 barbel caught in total, the best being a new pb of 10lb 2oz for my brother. A great fish in mint condition! All fish caught on feeder and pellet. Lots of snags to avoid. The canoe traffic was fairly heavy, but caused no problem at all. Lovely stretch of river, we will definitely be back in the summer.

River was up a foot or so and in lovely condition, dropping slowly throughout the day. Fished little 9mm boilies to groundbait feeder and caught from three different swims.

River was fining down after a 2 foot rise the day before and was in good form, helped by unseasonably warm temperatures and some good cloud cover. We started in the wood swim and had a couple of Barbel and some small chub before moving up to the meadow. Using standard feeder and pellet tactics we managed a further 10 Barbel throughout the day, to just shy of 10lb with most fish in the 7-8lb bracket and at least 3 being over 9lb. A fantastic day on the river at a lovely time of year.
