Strange sort of day ,started quietly but the Thunderstorm with torrential rain arrived in mid afternoon at about the same time the Barbel started feeding, managed a few up to around 7.5 lbs before the wet and slippery banks forced us to pack up a bit early ,nice to meet Stefan and get some tips for our next visit.

Good day again on this beat,12 barbel to 6lb feeder meat /pellet, 2 chub both over 4lb , most caught in first section in woods where it's not so snaggy and slightlydeeper .

12 Barbel, 2 Chub

Another slow day interrupted by pretty spectacular thunderstorm. Marine based baits ineffective, sweetcorn the most successful.

Excellent stay at The Cottage of Content

River around midday , fished 3rd obvious swim down steepish bank , a few good Chubb bites , using a larger pellet, the weather turned and hammered down with plenty of thunder and fork lightning to go with it .Took cover under the brolly ,for next 2 hours , had 1 Chubb around 3lb lovely condition ,

River lowish and clearish
All fish on pellets. Couldn't buy a bite on the float, but a feeder in the same line produced plenty. A couple of the chub quite big, probably fives.
Barbel 5-7lb.
....and then it rained. Thunderstorms from mid-afternoon until dusk. Decidedly damp by the time we returned to the vehicles.

A great evening despite the pouring rain, thunder and lightening for most of it! Two large Barbel in great condition of 7.5lbs and 8.5lbs to ledgered pellet. Just what I wanted!
