Fished a swim in the meadow with a tree stump and dark chalet-style house directly opposite from 0715-0915. Packed up early as I was soaked and it was extremely slippery underfoot. A shame because I think the fish were really on it today. I fished groundbait feeder (4oz) with mixed pellets, and a 14mm pellet (paste wrapped) on hair. Barbel number one came after about half an hour and weighed 9lb 2oz. A PB, so very happy with that. Barbel two was around 6lb. Hooked another but the hook pulled. Torrential rain made the swim I was fishing in the meadow really treacherous. I only saw one other fishable swim - the first swim in the wooded area but I didn't walk any further than that. It was pitch black when I was walking the bank so may have missed other swims. The track is really good now. I drove up it in VERY heavy rain in a 2WD car with no issue at all. Thanks to WUF and/or the land-owners for sorting that out as the previous track put me off fishing Home or TW for two years after a very sketchy ascent before!

Rain all day, rising river the colour of chocolate. All fish caught from top end between 0745 and 1100 on flavoured meat, biggest 8lb. Great to finally meet the infamous Stefan, nice bloke for a chat.

Perfect conditions - water was chocolate brown, but only half a metre on the ross gauge.

Very overgrown vegetation making casting difficult. Missed two takes. No fish caught
