Cubed, spiced meat accounted for a few decent chub to 5lbs. Late afternoon, Fergie time, 3 cubes left and a barbel about 7lbs came to the net.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

Struggled for bites all day..fished every crease, flow line and eddy on the whole beat..

3 Chub

River was in fine condition with the lack of rain, Erwood gauge at 0.9m. Wading around on bedrock can indeed be tricky for the older person here, but this is a stunning beat and throughly enjoyed the day. Trotting I felt was the best method given the winter level, width of river here, and depth in places. Struggled to find grayling in the morning but a couple of hours in the right spot in the afternoon brought 6 to the net, with 2 x 13 inch. Not monsters but so good to see these totally wild fish thriving.

Only barbel bite of the day, caught on spam at 12.30pm using a ground bait feeder with pellets in.
Fish weighed 5lb 7oz. Had a few other plucks which i assumed to be chub. Generally very slow with the river low and clear.

1 Barbel

Given the drop in temperature - 0C when we arrived. 9 barbel 4-8lb and 3 lost. 13 chub 1-4lb.
