2 anglers... 3 barbel an 1 chub from the boys rocks.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished boys rock - bit of a squeeze for 2 anglers but managed it. Clear, bright conditions following on from a full day of rain the previous day. Only managed 3 chub all day in the 4lb category. Pellet & feeder tactics.

3 Chub

Very few accessible swims to choose from. River looked in good condition. Best barbel 7lb 10 oz, best chub 3lb 8oz. 4 eels caught biggest 2lb - all caught on pellet.

First visit to this beat. Nice looking stretch of river with plenty of swims in the wooded area of the beat. However despite trying several spots we only had one chub to show for our efforts.

1 Chub

Just the one change chub today. Really worked the section hard but a difficult day.

1 Chub

I had 7 barbel to 9lb and 3 chub to 4lb and Martin had 4 barbel and 3 chub. Fish came at regular intervals all day. We fished several swims finding holes in the weed, fish came mainly to meat baits. A really good days fishing.

Lovely days fishing. Nothing caught but it was a great experience just being there.

As per other comments, there are only 1 or 2 swims available due to the weed growth. Boys Rocks was a tight swim for two anglers but we managed to squeeze in and catch on a variety of tactics including pellet/feeder, cheese paste and meat. 7 barbel to 7 1/2 lb and 3 chub to 4 lb caught over the day. Thanks W&U.

No catch but will definitely come back to try again.

Another warm day with a few showers. Fished Boys Rocks from the island. River clear and low, but looked promising. Unfortunately I tried everything I knew, pellets, meat, paste, corn, etc, but I couldn't buy a barbel. I did pull out of one and caught an eel, but that was it. Decided to call it a day at 1pm as I planned an early start the next day. I notice that the anglers the following day had the same result. Some times it's your day and sometimes not, but it's still a very great river to fish.
