10 barbel between 6 & 8lbs, river level rising during the day.

10 Barbel, 2 Chub

First time on this beat and we loved it, but we searched day for the barbel in the pouring rain and did not find them until dusk. Just managed to catch one before we had to go home. We will be back though. Thank you for a lovely day.

Began fishing around 3pm and fished through to 10pm, but without success. River looked good nice height and colour. We both lost quite a lot of tackle on snags probably as a result of the rubbish that must have been washed down in the heavy floods.

Fish all fell to swimfeeder with pellet. River falling but still high. Cold wind and strong gusts.

River in flood and just fishable in only a few swims. Both fish fell to legered luncheon meet in same swim during a one hour period . Otherwise biteless and we eventually retired to pub to escape increasing hostile wind.
