1 Chub

An unusually difficult Autumn day - river up and looked perfect but only a few chub and an Eel . Lost two Barbel in the fast run at the bottom of the beat. Was an otter present when we arrived,

Water level up by over a metre since summer levels. Barbel came from the faster water on feeder and hinders baits.
Wadeing and trotting not an option today.
Be aware of wasp nest in the steps of the last peg on the far side still very active.

It had been probably 8-10 years since we last fished this beat. Appeared more difficult to find accessible swims that could be easily fished. A bit of judicious vegetation management and tree surgery wouldn't go amiss.
We fished the reed swim on the far bank and caught spasmodically throughout the day, 4 of the chub were less than 2lb with the other 6 between 3-5lb. Maggot or meat on straight lead or feeder.
