The river has been at typical June levels over the last fortnight, making for challenging conditions on the feeder and straight lead. Plenty of Chub showing on the surface throughout the beat, mainly in the top meadow and bottom meadow.
For those like us visiting the Creel for the first time, there are four meadows. Upstream of the church, meadow 1 offers deeper slower water which then runs into rapids under a couple of trees. Meadow 2 downstream of the church is characterised by high sandy banks, where scrambling is required to access the river's edge. At its upper end, namely the Island Pool Barbel appear to be the main species. (Two losses so beware of the submerged rocks). The lower end has the odd nearside bush for cover. Meadow 3 is a continuation of the high sandy banks with odd grassy platforms to scramble down to access the water. At this time of year the river runs slow through these sections, where large Chub showed on the surface during the morning and evening.
Meadow 4 has been allowed to grow wild this spring so access is difficult. The near Bank is characterised by alder and scrub and is steep with a 30 feet drop to the water's edge. There appear to be deep slow flowing pools, which must be productive during the latter months of year.
The Chub caught came from meadow 2 & 3 ranging from 1lb to 5lb. All were hard won from a variety of ledger tactics and baits. The float may have been a better bet but we were after a Barbel and both fish lost were of a good size so we will be back in the Autumn.
