A much better day , over night rain had put some colour and water in the river. Three fish in the first hour, within the next hour the river rose by nearly a meter. Fished in all the slacks till last light with no reward. Good to see more weed growth in the river.

The weather played a big part in today’s fishing. The banks became quite dangerous. Just 1 chub. But good to be on the river.

River a nicely coloured and at a good level. Lots of swim options on this lovely beat.

For the time of year we had a great day. Between the two of us, we landed six barbel between 5 and 8lb (biggest 8lb 12oz). Three Chub (biggest 4lb 10oz).
We had an immediate respond, first two Barbel came on a traditional Luncheon meat approach (first two casts). Then most fish where caught on a spicy meat boilie either on a straight lead or small feeder.

3 of us fished and caught without trying too hard. Fish came throughout the beat, mainly to feeder tactics. Found plenty of chub off the croy 2-4lb. Biggest barbel 10.5.

River still quite high making access to swims difficult but not impossible with care . Had a lot of tentative bites on feeder tactics all day but failed to connect. Halibut and crushed hemp groundbait. Halibut pellets and luncheon meat baits . Disappointed not too catch but that's fishing

Had hoped that with the warmer weather the fish would have fed. Arrived before first light and baited six swims. Was very grateful for the one Chub that I caught. Tough as water was still cold.
