Levels dropping, great fun fishing places I’ve never fished before because of access.all fish caught on normal feeder tactics.

Difficult conditions, very heavy rain at times and a river fairly high and pushing through so 4oz leads were the order of the day and only close in. 1 barbel of approximately 5lb first cast on pellet but nothing afterwards as the river rose constantly through the day. Lovely stretch just a shame having to hide under a brolly for the majority of it, but you book your date and take your chance. Will be back to get my revenge next year!

Hard conditions, water levels up, all fish caught on normal feeder tactics if you can hold bottom????

On a high a river that fell during the day we found a few swims towards the end of the beat with enough slack water to be able to fish reasonably comfortably. A few small chublets were caught early on before we moved further down the beat where JA had two fish in two casts on a 12mm pellet, a Barbel of 5lb 10oz and a Chub around the 3lb mark.

With the Ross gauge showing 3.35m, I arrived soon after lunch with low expectations. I have never seen the river so high and turbid, but I walked the bank and found two or three swims that seemed just about fishable. It turned out to be a very good session with nine barbel coming to the net, most in the last couple of hours of daylight. All on feeder and pellet and nearly all in the 5 - 7lbs range. Never say die!
