As it fished well yesterday two of us came back today. Same weather and river conditions. I managed to catch a 5.08 barbel today to go with 4 chub on meat or maggot. SM didn't catch his first fish till 1500 but added another 5 after that all on meat and all over 3lb. Again a lovely day.

Mild start to Feb with the river at 0.5m with a good flow and a hint of colour. Had 3 nice chub early but moved after a biteless hour and a half. Started catching again early afternoon and added another 6 chub with the biggest over 5lb and the rest all a good stamp. Caught on maggot, meat and cheesy garlic dumbells. A lovely winter days fishing.

Very cold day, even colder overnight. River running low and fairly clear. First time pike fishing in a long time. Had one run on deadbait late in afternoon but did not connect.
Great part of the river though, with some slow steady parts and some faster streamy water. Even a beach... sort of.

5 Chub

River was still carrying some extra water but had a good colour. It turned very cold over night and there was a hard frost, so I wasn’t expecting much. Started at the bottom end and didn’t get anything all morning. Moved to the top end in the afternoon and switched from boilies/pellets onto meat and that seemed to work. Had a period between 2:30 and 4:30 with quite a few bites, then slowed down again as it got colder in the evening. Barbel 7.12, best Chub 5.8. Much improved access to swims since my last visit.
