A frustrating day for us both trying to emulate a session 2 years ago that was never going to be! I fished the same swim as I did previously on the pebble beach near the end of the beat with similar river levels & quite low. Quite a few fish showed throughout the day so they were there but couldn't manage to catch in too many numbers. Had 2 Barbel on an Avon style float using 12mm RR pellets / 10mm frankfurter boilie which were great sport at around 6lb. 3 small Chub were also caught on the same tactics but my frustrations were losing 3 barbel on the day, 1 on ledger tactics & 2 on the float. Could have been a much better day but that's fishing....Mate had a barbel later on ledger tactics using meat

Difficult day of fishing, windy, river normal with a little colour. Fished 0900 to 1800 on the lower section, beach area below the bridge. 3 small chub and 1 around 4lb. Tried float, rolling meat and feeder/ pellet through the day. Had one barbel take late afternoon but it slipped off the hook. A beautiful stretch that looks so ‘Fishy’ but left a little disappointed.

4 Chub

Static bait, mainly luncheon meat, roving tactics. All gosh from bottom of beat where efforts were focused.

Conditions summer low, bit of colour (vis ~3-4ft). Stable all day.
