Nice stretch. River rose very quickly through the morning, bites before and after the peak. One barbel of 9.4, rest 4 - 6lb. Few other fish lost on top peg, some sharp bedrock there.

Top swim the most productive, though some issues with loosing fish to cut offs on snags. Chub very active, ranging from chublets to 5lb fish.

Very enjoyable day again. Much harder going here than last week but not surprising as I was wading again and could tell the water was markedly colder. It certainly had a chill to it. I ended up with 3 barbel (to 6lb) which took a lot of coaxing and lots of chub which were more cooperative. A couple of which were over 5lb. I went home a happy chappy.

After a bit if leg work a number of barbel could be seen feeding in a shallow pool and once located the action was steady right through the day. Fish fell to ledgered pellet mainly but it was lovely to get out in the water in the sun and roll meat through the pool which also produced a few fish. Biggest barbel went 9lb 2oz. As others have mentioned you need to be fit and mobile for this beat and make sure you travel light but take what you need as you don't want to be popping back to the car for anything if you can help it!!
