River level low but nice Chub 2-4lb on float

5 Chub

Fished in the woods and decided to fish on the float and not ledger at all. I guessed I would stop fishing early afternoon given the water temperature was rising through the day and had gone above 25 at Holme Lacy Bridge the previous day. I fished for chub and thats what I got. I didn't want to target the barbel in the very hot water conditions. As it happens the water temperature was just slightly under 25 when I packed up at 1pm and by then I was too hot and needed a rest from the constant activity!

Chub only showing at the stones. Fished for 5 hours until dusk no sign of Barbel. Access very difficult through the fields and woods

I only fished for 4 hours so I could get back home for the England game. Fished in the woods on what is now pretty much the only fishable swim in there now. The footpaths from the car park lane across to heart attack hill are well overgrown compared to last year. The gates are also full of weeds and brambles and a real struggle now. The path through the woods was never great but now feels even more eroded. Access will probably stop me going here again for a while at least. Caught 13 chub but not a sign of barbel, 10 ledgering and 3 on the float. It was easier to catch the chub on the float, however the ducks went mad for any feed and attacked my float constantly so gave up.
