2 chub to meat. Rapidly rising river

2 Chub

6 barbel in total. River rising and coloured. Localised pockets of fish spread out throughout the fishery. It would be nice to see a few swims cuts in the second field as currently there are none.

6 Barbel

Quiet in the morning, but the fish went crazy during the heavy rain in the afternoon. Best fish 9lb

9 Barbel, 1 Chub

1 Barbel caught on flavoured meat, 2 barbel lost & 1 other (chub or eel?) Due to debris coming down.
Only fished for 2hrs as rain made banks very very slippery, just about made it out (on all fours!!)
Gutted as the Barbel were really on the feed! Lesson learned. Spikes on boots reqd! Love this beat,never disappoints.

3 anglers. A challenging day as river had risen overnight with a lot of colour. Banks were treacherously slippy due to rain and mud. I fell over 3 times despite using dog spike & rope. 1 barbel landed, 7lb 2oz, and two lost, one at the net. About 15 or so chub, all fish to luncheon meat on feeder.

The Brook was higher and flowing faster than a few weeks ago, water slightly coloured which with the faster flow made things a bit harder. No joy in the morning, but slight improvement in the afternoon, persistence paid off with 2 WBT, both on beaded nymph.

Nice end to the trout season.

Hard day today!! Fished 6/7 swims for 3 Barbel and 1 Chub. Biggest 9lbs 2oz so can’t complain. Boilie for 2 6lbers Garlic meat for the 9lber . Track down has been made good so a lot less likely to get stuck.

Good trip to Chainbridge. Picked up an 8-10lb coloured cock salmon on a spinner in Chine pool.
Nice water height, just carrying a bit too much colour for the fly.
Also saw a good salmon near the bridge (15-20lb).
