1 Chub, water level was pretty low, most of the stretch is very overgrown but still delightful day.

River level quite low but any day is a good day to be at the river. Three barbel in the 7-8lb range and 2 chub around 3lb. Overcast day with some showers. Lockdown is definitely over as the amount of canoes was annoying to say the least, they started at 7am. I am sure the fish are used to it (just anglers are not) and most canoe occupants are respectful however it baffles me why people feel the need to blast their radios in the beautiful scenery. Also some people decided to wade and swim down rather than use the kayak so it needs some mental adjustment to fully enjoy the fishing!!

A tough day. All barbel came in the last hour. Conditions were good with very little weed coming down.

Three anglers fished this beat on a hot and sunny day. The water was a bit low, but one lucky angler landed three Barbel with the first three casts of the day using feeder and pellet to the far bank.

Got there around, 6am, nice little beat with easy parking.
It is a long stretch so you can decide where to fish hot different pools too from slow flow to rapids and shallow to deep.
Started with the feeder on the morning, barbel didn’t show so decided to move up on the river and switched method too for a float. Caught at least a 120 chubs and different silvers. Then changed pegs again and went down a couple of hundred meters to the rapids around 12ish.
Fished there till 5pm caught some very nice chubs up to 6lb mark then decided to move back to the first peg (where we started)
Not much activity till 7pm when the barbel started biting. Managed to get a few to the bank till 8pm and lost a couple of big ones too.. biggest was around 10lb mark. Left at 8:30
Lovely day out and it was very relaxing too.
