First time on this beat for me and it really is a picture. I fished mainly the bottom end and picked up fish throughout the day finishing with 6 barbel up to about 8.5lb and 10 chub to 3.5lb all caught on either halibut or Robin Red pellets making for a great start to the season. Now a word about exiting the field! It is iffy but I found if you get as close to the road as possible and wind your window down you can hear the approach of any car to your right because you certainly can't see them get out quick and park up a few yds to the left and then shut the gate. Thanks once again W.U.F for another lovely day on the best river in the country.

6 Barbel, 10 Chub

Brother D.S. caught 2 barbel to 6lb and a 3lb chub from the same swim I caught from yesterday. All fish again caught on pellets. We stayed at Southbank House which I would not hesitate to stay again. Thanks to WUF and looking forward to my next trip.

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

Opening day of the season finally arrived, hot and sunny with the river low. Fished a couple of swims before finding the barbel, caught 5 up to 6lb, 3 chub to 4lb and a brown trout. D.S had 4 chub to 3lb all fish taken on pellets.

River was very clear and it was cold. Fishing was hard with not much happening during the day. I covered all the area I could with deadbaits for not a sniff. My brother fished a maggot feeder with not much interest except a small trout. When it started to get dark I managed to avoid the blank with a double figure pike which fought hard and my brother managed a couple of decent chub up to 4 on cheese paste.
