Wonderful day for fishing with cloud cover most of the day. Started off below the wood for 3 chub around 3-4lbs. but was bringing more weed than fish & so moved up above the hut for the afternoon & found a few barbel to 7lbs. Very pleasant afternoon with the occasional company of a gentleman who had made the journey down from Suffolk; When we weren't talking he was catching Barbel...an experienced angler by comparison!

3 Barbel, 3 Chub

14 chub taken during morning session, all 4lb+. River low and clear.

A long days fishing started very well with two barbel being caught within half an hour of being at the venue. Weed coming down a dropping river hampered us for most of the day. Various swims were visited but the best sport was at the start of the beat. Most fish were caught by one angler with feeder and large pellet. Lovely place, good access for everyone.

This was my second visit to this beat , great venue ! Bright and sunny today and the river was just how you want it , flowing nicely and a bit of colour. All barbel were caught off the bottom , but the best catches were the chub whilst trotting , 3 of which were over 4lb , there is no better way to catch chub , some nice dace thrown in there to , fished from 1pm till 8:30pm , evening time providing the best sport.
Brilliant day !

Very pleasant couple of hours on the bank 100m below the wood accompanied by the Memsahib which is a rarity. Chub between the lines of weed and taken on spam & floated bread crust. Two went straight for the weeds but were. extricated with full use of the waders.All very strong ,healthy looking fish. A pint & G&T in the garden of the Green Man afterwards rounded off the afternoon where I was able to explain the finer details of carp fishing & quarry size to my better half;She was either deeply enthralled or texting someone under the table...I don't know which?
