A handful of chub and a brace of barbel. Struggled to find barbel willing to come out to play in the low clear conditions. One out of the blue mid afternoon but otherwise no sense of barbel activity until sunset. I suspect the other angler fishing the "hot" swim fared rather better. He did kindly invite me to fish close by, but I thought the shoal in that swim gets enough of a pasting as it is, and tried a few other swims which had produced for me in the past. Always a pleasure to be out on the river in such glorious surroundings.

Moved about a bit to find the fish, between 2 rods 4 chuib and 3 barbel, quite a few bites but not connecting, enjoyable day.

Fished from first light, weather bit wet. Started off fishing the cable crib pool no joy so moved round to the pot pool 10ish no joy either but notice lots of slugs so put one on a 4 size hook and had a take but lost it then went down to the bottom of the island and free line slug and took maybe 25 plus chub from the far bank not Barbel but what a mornings fishing. Took 3 Barbel and 2 chub from same place in the evening.

Heavy low cloud and rain through most of the day.
Chub were voracious in there attacks on the baits soon as they hit the water good fish 4-5 lb. Barbel fed later in the day ended with 15 Barbel and 18 Chub.
Very damp but very happy!
Thanks W&Usk for 3 days coarse fishing heaven.

Quiet in the morning, just 1 chub. Picked up the afternoon with 8-10 chub total.

A great day, had 20 barbel bewteen us and at least 40 chub. Succesful baits boile and pellet. Fished a few different swims and took chub and barbel from most, but most profilic towards the end of the stretch.

This beat has excellent access, although it can be a long walk.

A very disappointing day only one chub caught between the two of us!!

Fished different swims and moved up and down, but only one barbel and 4 chub between us, the fish do not seem to be feeding, but still a good and enjoyable day.

8 chub and 4 barbel between the 2 rods.

Very nice stretch of river with good access and lots of nice swims. Very quiet day managed two barbel and four chub on pellets near the hut at the beginning of the beat. Many thanks
