First anglers to visit this new stretch. River within it’s banks but chocolate in colour and roaring through. Testing conditions throughout with 5oz feeders struggling to hold bottom and the water level rising approximately 18 inches during the course of the day.
Clearly the upstream catchment area was seeing more rain than us (we were fortunate to only see a small number of showers all day).
CH managed to winkle out a 4lb 6oz Barbel using swimfeeder and pellet (on the second cast of the day, with a new rod making it’s debut!).
No further significant action to report but nevertheless, great to be out on the river.
Periods of warm sunshine, the obligatory Buzzards calling overhead and numerous species of ducks and geese (doubtless disappointed at the water levels receding from the fields).
Also had the great pleasure of meeting the owner of the stretch, with whom we had a very pleasant chat. Can’t wait to re-visit in the summer months.
1 Barbel
