Conditions were ideal first thing in morning, catching chub between 2-4 lb most casts. Lost 2 barbel to Rocky snags before catching smaller barbel. Moved and fished peg under bridge for an hour catching 2 more chub. Sun came out and killed the day. Good fun as always

Really enjoyed day which was cloudy and warm and river coloured. I had a PB barbel of 7lb 4oz and another one of about 2lb. Also one chub just under 4lbs and 8 others. The big barbel was caught on sweetcorn and the others on luncheon meat. All using a feeder in middle of river. Did try trotting but no good. Fished from the swim on the left bank with about 12 supported steps. Need to be careful when you get down there as it was very slippery. Only fished from 10.30 till 15.30 (when it became sunny) so much better results than I expected.

The river was low and with only a choice of three swims to fish we were defeated before we began.

The beat seemed expensive for the options you have to fish when you get there, access is tight and if the lay by is full near the bridge then you can find yourself with a fair walk with your tackle.

Fished using a method feeder with pellets and boilie - ended up with a chub of about 1lb and can't see myself returning any time soon.
