Great day on this stretch again. All fish caught in bottom field to a combination of hair rigged 8mm pellet on 14 hooks with 4mm pellet in feeder and straight lead with meat. Chub to 5lb and barbel to 8lb.

The woods area was closed to fishing so we split between the upstream stretch of the salmon hut,and downstream of the woods. Water level very lowbut we located a shoal of chub which produced the 2 barbel as dusk fell. Very enjoyable session .. thanks W & u.

Well let’s start with what a trek, underestimated the woods walk. It is brutal with all your gear but it’s worth it. Chub constant throughout the day, 10-15 around 4-5lbs as well as 2 barbel. Not massive, one about 1-2 lb other about 4lb. Lost a barbel that felt a good 7lber. All in all a great days fishing. A bit confusing getting to the spot, walked round to the end of the wood to find a locked gate saying go round the wood. No way was that happening so we had to hop it. A bit more direction on this would be good, also maybe a sign at the car park to direct anglers around to the right so you’re not walking through someone’s garden lol. Bloke fishing the weir and must have been from about half hour - hour before sunset. Had an altercation with him as he wanted the whole weir and end of weir to himself, pretty selfish in my eyes but as he wanted a peaceful days fishing he moved on. Just a tip, don’t break the rules and I won’t break the unwritten rules ;) Hope he bagged up and had a good day anyway. Would definitely go again and would highly recommend.

Only 2 anglers fished, river still very low. Fished the Lucky Stone area. Chub were hungry all day - trotting and maggot feeder outfished “standard” Barbel tactics. Only picked up one Barbel on the float mid-morning. We thought the Barbel might arrive later in the day but they obviously had other ideas. Great to be by the river as always.
