After facing the hill and the 'forest goat' trail a swim was selected and a really enjoyable day, alas devoid of Barbel, was enjoyed.
Circa 30/40 chub caught, we lost count really, all falling to Krill pellet, corn or meat presented exclusively on method feeders that performed brilliantly on a 4" hook link. This might have cost us a few barbel but hey ho, it was thoroughly memorable. All fish were in the 3lb-5lb range.

Lovely days fishing. The barbel came in the morning before 8am and two after 5pm. Lost count of the exact amount of chub I caught to be honest. Plenty of them were a good size between 3 and 5 lbs at a guess, didn’t weigh anything. All fish caught on swim feeder tactics, ellipse pellets, barbel bomb and halibut pellets.

River was low but rising, fished the peg in the woods after the rapids.

River very low and clear. Fished 6am till midday. 6am to 9am 1 x barbel on 14mm crab pellet. 9am till midday 12 x chub 3-5lb on bread flake, great fun. Could have continued to catch but it got too hot so legged it for a pint.

A bit of a slow day - late arrival and bright sun probably didn’t help. Fish most active at dusk. Lost a second barbel when the line parted around a rock. All caught on the feeder.
