20th Nov. River conditions looked good, weather conditions were great but turned out to be a bit more difficult than expected. In the good conditions had 2 Barbel, best 9lb 4 oz, one around 10am, the other on the last chuck. A bit of Chub action in between with 4 Chub, two of which were good 4 lb'rs...
21st Nov. A bit colder and plenty of rain otherwise as per previous day no action at all except for a short period in the late afternoon when 4 Barbel were taken in 4 casts. Best fish at 10 lb 2 oz...
Although not necessarily the most prolific W&U stretch I've fished. this is a really beautiful and peaceful fishery that in my opinion is diverse enough to offer opportunities in most conditions...

6 Barbel, 4 Chub

No fish caught in tough conditions on a flooded river.

Fished from about 11.00am until 18:00pm. Tried for the first two hours to catch on the float but despite a couple of bites nothing to show. Changed to feeder tactics and started to catch slowly throughout the day. All fish in absolute pristine condition. Martin managed a 9lb 6oz Barbel, a Chub 3.5lb and some Dace. I managed two Barbel, best 6.5lb and numerous Dace, two Grayling and a Brownie. Pellets, boilies, bread and maggots.

1 Trout, 2 Grayling, 3 Barbel, 1 Chub, 20 Other

River level dropping and not quite so coloured after the recent rain, but still pushing through. After changing swims and settling down during the afternoon, finally got some action with 5 barbel all of the 6-8lb size, plus 2 decent chub one of which was 5.2lb. All taken on pellet feeder tactics.

5 Barbel, 2 Chub
