35 Chub

I arrived around 8.15am to find the river had returned to normal level. I began fishing half way along the island with GB feeder and luncheon meat and had my first chub within literally 10 seconds. 4 more followed then I changed to trotted meat feeding in a handful of pellets every third cast. In three and a half hours a caught 45 chub on this method - crazy!
I stopped at 12.40 and roved upstream with the feeder, and only managed another 5 in 7 hours!
All ranged from a pound and a half to around four.
Sadly no barbel, but perhaps a little early? Very little weed in the river which is not a good sign.

River conditions looked perfect but the heat was unbearable. We stuck it out thinking it would improve as we went into the evening but it was still 28 degrees at 8.00pm. We had to concede and live with the fact that we have probably just returned the lowest catch report ever for 3 anglers on this beat!!!

Great to be back on our favourite river for the opening day. Nice to have a long chat with Colin. River had good colour and dropped like a stone during the day.

1 x Shad caught while fly fishing for salmon. Two jumping salmon seen. Great help from Ghillie Colin. Overall a lovely beat. Shame about the pollution in the river from upstream, we speculate is sewage.
