Great day on the chub again today.... Not what I was fishing for but they do keep you occupied and put up a hell of a fight.... Only the one barbel around 2lb but had alot of chub around the 5lb mark.
A few heavily spawning!!!!! (so please handle with care).
Using using cage feeder (brown crumb) with cheese, meat, bread, corn, pellet, small pop ups as hook bait. The chub took anything that was on the hook...
Great day again.
And an eel!.

Fishing very slow so tried 5 swims to find the fish. Barbel and one chub next to the island on consecutive casts but that proved to be a false dawn but on reflection should have persevered in the faster water. All fish to feeder tactics with pellet or meat on the hook. Nothing on the float rod and one other was an eel.

No fish

Great days fishing although Barbel was caught on the first cast and then didn't see another one all day. The day was ruined when a couple of lads fell out of the canoe they were in and decided to walk straight through the middle of my swim. I was mid afternoon and the sun was hot so called it a day.
Beautiful scenery and the best way to spend a Saturday.

The other was an eel????

Feeder fishing with meat

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

River at good level and neither clouded or perfectly clear. Weather was cooler than the previous days sweltering heat and there was a brisk wind. One of us fished the deeper water above the island and one the faster water below the rapids. Variety of baits used from meat to boilies and most fish were caught using smaller 10 or 12mm baits, all on lead/feeder.

No sign of any barbel but it is early in the season and we had a cold spring and early summer so spawning may have been delayed.
Ps " other "was an eel.
