Only fished for three or so hours from first light. Three fish to the same method as the previous day.

I fished from 6am until noon then again for a couple of hours in the evening. All fish were taken on single/ double pellet with a ground bait/pellet river feeder. River very low and clear as expected.

I started Fishing with a feeder and spam at the top end of the beat, casting a few feet past the middle. In two hours i caught 3 chub, and 6 perch with a shadteez from the middle. Later on at 08.40pm I moved to the second swim and caught another 3 chub with spam and finally a barbel at 09.15 on spam. Water levels are very low and temperature was 23 degrees. Enjoyed feeding some ducks during the wait.

Beautiful, quiet beat. Due to the warm sunny conditions I only fished the evening and had most success right at dusk with an 8lb barbel, and the biggest of the chub at 3.5lb, caught on ledgered pellets. Also had 2 nice perch on a tiny spinner.

Arrived Thursday evening to a very slow moving lethargic looking river. Forecast was not all that promising (for fishing) but that didn’t seem to matter. Bait out and a good swim rest before the rods went out. The bites came instantly! Barbel after barbel with lots of good sized chub making an appearance in between. By Friday evening we’d landed 13 barbel and countless chub to a good size! Bait out last light then fished a few hours on the Saturday morning seeing another good sized barbel and 6 proper chub before we packed up and called it a day (water was very warm). A red letter session for us.
