River still very high, but falling slowly. Weather cool, bright and windy. One chub caught, one lost in bankside vegetation and one barbel lost to a hook pull. No other bites. Not a great day!

Very few swims, not recommended

Only a small Chub and Barbel but they were very welcome given the conditions . Plenty of accessible swims available on this short stretch of river. Fished left hand bank as it was shady and used pellet with a cage feeder.

No fish caught! Enjoyable couple of hours though on a beautiful day!

arrived around 11, already too late for first swim over bridge (kid and dogs swimming ) obviously can't read haha, so off down to end swim LHS, fed mashed bread , instant response to float fished bread, 4 Chub up to 3.5lbs over 1/2 hour, then dead, set up feeder ,halibut ground bait hair rigged elips pellets ,sat on box out on the shallows ,weed a bit of a problem but by 2.30pm had 2 more Chub a one elusive Barbel of 5lbs, tried meat but Eels like it big time.
back to car for dinner ,then did some trotting on middle swim LHS loads of chub to a lb (but most 10inch long and odd dace to corn as well ,tried the lead mid river but out there,it eats kit at a regular rate ......roving pays dividends here ,releasing silver fish back tends to slow swims up even with constant feeding . very enjoyable day , thank you ...note it may well pay to remove the large limb of the willow tree at bottom ,and the smaller one above , this would give easy access to trot or ledger with casting ease ,as the LHS of the tree swim is horrible to fish out of >??
