Didn't go over the hill. Fished the last 2 pegs in the field. Didn't get a fish until 4.30 pm. Tried all baits pellets, maggots, cheese paste and curried luncheon meat. Luncheon meet once again worked in the end

Another very warm late February day and after a frosty start it quickly warmed up to 18 or 19 degrees which is remarkable for winter. It did not help the fishing and although we fished all the known swims on this stretch we managed just one small barbel between us. The river looked in good condition if low and a bit clear but we were suprised at the lack of even small fish showing to our 'catch anything' tactics.

Another lovely afternoon on one of my favourite beats. All the fish caught in the first three hours. Nothing then until darkness was falling when I had another bite but lost the barbel to a hook pull. Most of the fish around the 5 to 6lb+ mark. Feeder with halibut pellet accounted for all. Meat brought nothing but some snatchy chub bites.

not a bite all day and then just before i was hoping for something.....local farmer in the field upstream decided to cut down hunks of tree which he felled into the river.. these bushes and branches then drifted into my swim which made further fishing impossible

River in perfect condition (0.7 on the Ross gauge with a bit of colour) and a very mild bright day to go with it. Feeder and pellet was the successful method, except for the chub which fell to meat. Most of the barbel were around the 4lb to 6lb mark, but the last cast of the day produced a fish of 7lb-14. An exceptional session for the time of year.
