Nice sunny day in stunning surroundings went mad at dusk????????

7 Barbel, 2 Chub

Great day on the river despite being hamstrung by one snapped rod on arrival meaning we had to share one rod for the whole day.

We fished from 9am and the chub were obliging during the day. The barbel started feeding at dusk, as expected. All five falling to double 8mm krill pellets from the second swim downstream of the woods within a period of 1 hour.

River very high and fast, but still a few slacks. Barbel up to 6lbs but lost a bigger one. Chub was a monster, biggest I have seen, but after I landed and unhooked it I slipped on the wet banks and it got away before I weighed or photo'ed it. All fish on pellet from the stretch downstream of the woods. Lovely spot, delightful evening.

River high and rising. Debris coming down all the time, so tricky conditions. Swims accessible though. Good sized barbel to 9lb. Excellent fish. Caught on boillie.

The river was quite high and coloured for our visit, we fished below the forest section for the whole day.
3 of the barbel were caught on meat, 3 on pellet. Largest of the day was 8lb 4, none smaller than 6lb. The chub was caught at last Knockings on pellet.

We fished from 8am until an hour after sunset. We had no bites until around mid day then they came every couple of hours.
By far the most prolific was near sunset and that time after dark where 4 fish were landed.

Possibly the wettest days fishing we have ever enjoyed! Great fun though and a nice pint and a meal in the pub in Fownhope was a good end to the day.
