Chub bonanza 'part 2'..!
Moved around the beat hunting for barbel with more patient tactics than day 1 however no success.

Basically more chub, all nice fish and once again, in certain swims, it was like shelling peas. Overall count on a day, that started at around 8.00am through to about 3.00pm, was around 60 fish topping out at around 4lbs.

Overall the beat was in really good order, the river was well coloured at a good level with great access to the swims it's just the Barbel that were missing from a great two day fishing break.

River level was quite low and slow. Crystal clear water. Wildlife in abundance! Kingfishers (3 at once), a family of mink (5 or 6) tumbling and playing not 25 feet away on the other river bank, song thrush. Caught a 9 inch trout in one of the deep pools - they were chasing the nymph on the retrieve. Stunning day.
