Only fished the afternoon with 20+ chub being the result to feeder fishing..

20 Chub

3 Barbel, 2 Chub

A difficult days fishing river at least 3feet up and pushing through the beach and surrounding area completely underwater limiting swim choice,fished the downstream end but debris washing down made it difficult for feeder to hold bottom 2 small chub saved a blank.

A hard days fishing with few bites. Hadn't fished here for 2 years and there seems to be far fewer large fish around. Fished 3 usually productive swims but proved difficult in all. The chub came to feeder pellet tactics in the deeper swims well past the garden. The barbel came to rolled meat in the fast shallows at the start of the beat. Barbel was just over 8lbs.

Weather was overcast for the most part, light rain in the afternoon. Due to it being the weekend there were a lot of canoes and kayaks going past, for the most part canoeists where respectful but did have some that would come right into your swim. Method feeder filled with halibut pellet and a 10mm halibut dumbbell on the hair.

It’s been 4 years since my last visit to this beat , it should’ve been sooner , I forgot how great this place is ! With great parking and a stunning backdrop! Luckily we had the entire beat to ourselves so we tried to fish as much as possible, an early chub and barbel got us excited , and a cracking perch took our pellet , that’s a first for me !
Feeder fishing proved quite slow throughout the day , so switched to trotting which brought us a flurry of specimen chub , fantastic!
2 late barbel put the icing on the cake for what was a brilliant days fishing .

This venue is beautiful made more so by the National Trust property opposite.
We arrived at the Weir Garden swim and it looked great, very ‘fishy’. However if turned out to be a really tough day. Very few bites on a variety of methods, perhaps water and / or air temperature to blame (or dodgy angling!!?).
The barbel was a perfect specimen of just under 6lb, all chub were less than 2lb.
There are more productive beats on WUF, and the creation of more swims would be of huge benefit on this beat.

Nonetheless a lovely day.
