3 Barbel, 28 Chub

River was still rising through the day, topping at about +2.8m. The river was also very coloured and lots of debris coming down. Dropped in to lots of the likely looking swims with slacks. Small rattles every now and then.
1 chub between us on pellet. A very tough day indeed.

Tough day, river up 1 5m overnight and difficult to find slack water to hold bottom. Oddly had 4lb chub second cast which was probably a bit of a fluke as feeder was bouncing around all over the place. Tried up and down the stretch for rest of the day with only one bite and a 7.2lb barbel at 4pm was very welcome.

Not a bite all day long. Water was up and fast. Tried every possible bait, no results.

We caught 3 Barbel to 10lb 4oz & 4 Chub to 5lb 1oz, a bit slippery down the track following the rain but we made it back up ok.

River was quite coloured but level and temperature seemed okay so was optimistic. Fished a number of swims in the first field in rotation for most of the day without a bite. Went for a walk and fished a few tight swims further up where I managed to find a small chub happy to take a chunk of bread. Returned to the bottom field and went through the swims again with nothing to show for it. Eventually as everything was being packed away the tip went round and I was attached to a decent chub that went 4-1 on the scales. Really expected more than just two chub in the day and was left wondering where that 4-1 and his mates had been for the rest of the day.

3 anglers using feeder and pellet, river falling but still some colour and moving through the beat quite fast, 2 Chub.
The path from road down to river was extremely slippery, the mud being very wet from recent rain.

Fabulous days fishing with 2 chub caught. Lost a couple aswell but I didn’t really mind, it was just good to be there. Fish caught on feeder.
