Slow start but had a few moves and eventually found some fish.

1st time on this stretch, fished a couple of swims in woods all day, quite a nice beat, could do with some more water on, silk weed was a big issue all day could only keep bait in water for about 10 mins before being covered in weed. will come back when levels are up a bit and and weed gone, other was an eel.

A little more water than over the Summer months, but still quite clear. More fishable swims than last year. Fished the top and middle sections with hair-rigged halibut pellets behind a feeder containing pellets and halibut ground bait. Bottom more snaggy than previously, with a considerable amount of filamentous weed. Landed 3 barbel (8lb, 7lb and 6lb) - two at the top and one in the middle sections.

Not even a bite all day…

I didn't get down to the bank until 18:30. I managed just under a couple of hours, but with limited time headed to the pebbled beach area, and waded out into the middle trotting long and short runs. Bait of choice 8mm halibut pellet and small cubes of spam.

Trotting of a feed of hemp, pellet, and small cubed meat.

No luck this time but enjoyed the experience.

No access to maggots with work in the day at present, but can see from the fry that the were enjoying there free meal/feed

An evening session, sinker and trotting where possible. No takes on meat, one strike on bread but no hook. River was low on most pegs. Lots of surface feeding activity around 7.30pm but on the opposite bank where flow was faster.
