Quite a few chublets caught in the fast water at the top of the stretch on cubes of meat on the float and feeder. 1 Barbel and 3 chub from opposite the island in the lovely pool there, with 12 Chub and 2 barbel taken casting tight to far bank willows. Lovely stretch with some really nice water, we will definitely be back when there's some more colour in the water

3 Barbel, 31 Chub

Good start at about 8 am with Chub and two Barbel (only one of which was banked) caught in first two hours. River was dropping and fining down. Fish were caught with ledger and pellet bait.
By 11 am bright sunshine prevailed for a good three hours and things slowed down A change in tactics to slowly trotted float in slack water, saw a number of Perch, Dace and Bleak taken with corn, banded pellet and bread. Biggest Perch was about 1.5lb, excellent sport on very light gear.
Day ended with several reasonable Chub caught on return to ledger tactics. All fish between 2 and 4lb. Many in pristine condition.
A good session in ideal surroundings.

Started off in a swim on the downstream half of the beat, was told by another angler that it was a flyer that has produced consistently all summer, (thanks Colin).
After 4 hours and 3 small chub i decided it wasn't !
So i moved to the upstream end where i caught a Barbel first cast then steadily through the afternoon into the evening . All fish fell to either feeder fished pellet or big lumps of freelined meat. Barbel up to 7lb, biggest Chub 4lb 15oz.
A superb days fishing spent on a very well run beat in beautifull surroundings , what more could you want.

4 fished. 4 Barbel from Lucky Stones and 2 from just inside the woods after the long walk, which is punchy but manageable.
Great looking stretch.
Mainly meat for bait.
