6 Barbel, 8 Chub

Blanked

River high and cold, only fishable down the edge. Not much fishable bankside cover. Chub saved the blank

Conditions were really good, river up but not too high, dropping at first but then rising quickly in the latter part of the day, cloudy and very mild. Fun day, took me an hour or 2 to find the fish but when I did bites were pretty regular, bites dried up towards the end of the day when the river was rising quickly. Used feeder with hemp and pellets and boil hook baits. All fish between 6 and 7.5lb. chub around 3lbs. Glad I have a 4x4 otherwise I would have had no chance of getting out of there!

-3 when I started! I had my doubts what sort of day I was going to have! to my surprise I started catching straight away, first 4 hours or so I had 12 barbel & 2 grayling on maggot feeder. Then it went quiet until the last hour when I had another 4 fish... barbel between 4lb - 8lb..... my theory for you what it's worth for you winter fisherman out there, as the temp started rising i was catching, as temp started falling, bites dried until the standard witching hour.

Good day. Was going to be a short session so decided not to move about and trust that the fish would find me. Weather was grey but comfortable and river carrying a little water and plant debris. Stuck with feeder and pellets and had a few bites spread over the session. Again a warning to visitors - access through the farm to the river requires opening and closing two gates and a clipped electric fence and the area can be muddy so be prepared with wellies and some protection for your car footwell otherwise you'll coat the pedals and mats with a heady mix of liquid mud and cow s**t.

Good day on this stretch again. Water a little low and clear but managed to catch through the day.
