Really lovely day at the Creel. Fished two new swims for me this time. Tried the fast water upstream in the morning, had a couple of nice chub but not any barbel. Too quiet, not many knocks, maybe better there early season. Moved to lower meadow in the afternoon, nice mid pace swim, bit of white water and plenty of far side cover, caught steadily for the rest of the day on feeder and balsa. Had a barbel second chuck, good sign. All chub on the float fished meat, not a single chub on the feeder. All the barbel came to feeder fished boilie and oozing pellets. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, wild life as always was amazing. Not many canoes either, the ones that came past were extremely pleasant.

Dull and overcast with a little drizzle at times. All fish were taken on either pellets or boilies.

Had a great day, a couple of fish late morning then a quiet spell before the feeding spell in late afternoon through to dusk. Best Barbel just over 8 lbs with most around 6 lbs, also some nice Chub up to around 4.5 lbs

River up about 18”, coloured and pushing through so pretty good conditions but it was fairly hard going with all of the barbel and 7 of the chub falling to one rod plus one of us blanked. This is a nice venue and the fish are of a good stamp here but the banks are very steep and the walk is long to explore the whole fishery
