A great days fishing. 3 anglers fished all using feeder tactics with the fish coming mainly to wrapped pellet and meat.
The river was around 3ft up but not overly coloured. There were plenty of fishable swims and we fished mainly in the first two fields with one Barbel coming from the the top end of the beat. (a long walk)
Best Barbel was 8lb 2oz and the Chub ranged up to just under 5lb.
Have fished this beat before and it definitely fishes better when the river is up to this level.

Great day, had the beat to myself. Fished dawn till around 3pm. All fish came to feeder tactics with paste wrapped boilie hookbaits. The highlight was a magnificent Barbel of 9lb 12oz. Lovely views and a good amount of swims. Thoroughly enjoyable fishing and very peaceful.

Another fantastic day to end our 4 day trip.
We've had the trip of a lifetime with 2 days of the 4 being only short sessions due to travelling from Yorkshire, somehow still ending with 66 barbel and 98 chub!
The average size of fish was well up on previous visits, but with a number of smaller fish showing which is promising for the future.
Still finding lots of anglers rubbish on the beats though which we get sick of picking up and taking home. The amount of line found on the banks this trip was shocking and must stop.
