1 Barbel, 6 Chub

Had this beat booked for myself and a friend but looking at the water levels he decided not to make the trip. With the river so high it was difficult to find anywhere sensible to fish but eventually settled into a swim which produced a small barbel at about 10 o'clock. Nothing else happened and late in the day the water had dropped a little and another swim became available which produced another 2 barbel towards 6 p.m. A long interval between bites but a welcome end to a hard day. Pellets and heavy swim feeder as usual took the fish.

Found the baliff Colin Richardson very helpful doubt we would have caught without his help. Ledgered meat half way across. River high and colored.

Drove from the West Country to find the river was unfishable. When is the camera going to be working at the caravan park?

Nice day , mainly overcast but mild and dry. River up a bit and needed 5 oz feeders. Water temperature excellent at 9 degrees C. Best barbel 7-03 and best chub 4-04 all on pellet.

The river certainly responded to rain on Friday and on Christmas day, with a 2 degree f rise in temp and a bit of colour. All fish taken on pellet feeder tactics.

Unable to fish due to adverse weather conditions.

River had dropped since Sunday and was slower and better colour. Weather was mild but a strong downstream wind made for some difficulty. Had fish sporadically through the day, 2 barbel were 4lb and 6lb, all fish were caught on meat with pellets and meat in feeder. Decent autumn day. Fished in first field on the inside of main flow.

A very difficult days fishing. Arrived on a frosty morning with the river well up and flowing fast. Beautiful spot, chub caught in a slight back flow close in on red maggot. One barbel lost on halibut pellet. Will return in more favorable conditions.
