Despite the Hot weather & Low Water we managed to catch 10 Barbel to 7lb & 1 Chub just under 5lb.

10 Barbel, 1 Chub

9 Barbel, 1 Chub

Really good days fishing, nice beat, fly fished, had two very large barbel on, but lost.
Quite a few canoes in the morning (about 10) but they in the main were polite and asked me which way they should go past.

Very nice beat, if a bit public. Access and pegs good - being so dry I had no problems driving my small car along the track. Three good sized barbel and a 5lb chub caught quickly at the 1st peg below the boathouse, before the heat got too much. Pellet on a light bomb over loose-fed pellets.

Excellent day.

Only fished for a few hours, tried trotting without any joy. The river was very low and the weather was very hot and sunny.

Parking closer to swims this year. 10 mins walk max to more fishable swims. Upper half choked with weed*. Lower part much less but still lost half a dozen feeders and a couple of fish to weed - par for the course. Good to see clearly defined swim access routes down to the bankside - good groundwork by new owner/WUF. Fish in good nick.

Despite losing quite a few fish we still managed to catch a very good amount of barbel with the vast majority of the barbel going to my friend! I caught one on the float which is always a pleasure. A cracking day out!
