Silk weed got the better of us today, water levels look much better and both barbel looked in great condition 1 about 7lb and the other was 6lb. Even the chub weren’t showing as much as they usually do.

Silk weed wiped us out in the fast water but managed a 6lb barbel and lots of chub in the slacker water.

all going well until water rose mid afternoon and then i couldnt buy a bite - and plenty of debris coming down made me pack up early. great little stretch of river - loads of options - float, feeder and freelining all got me decent fish - best barbel 8lb 2.

Hopes were reasonably high as we arrived at Home.
We started fishing at 8am but within literally a minute we were inundated by blanket weed drifting downriver at all levels, sometimes hauling in up to 3-4lbs of the stuff! This stuff is a menace made bad this year by nutrients, sun and low water levels. Presumably it is starting now to die off?
We went from feeder to float to free lining without a single knock. We packed up at 1pm and went to a carp puddle to put bends in rods.

Fishing was difficult but due to weed moved around and managed to find a few fish in deep water.
