Cracking day, river looking lovely good amount of flow. Started on the beach section and despite conditions being bob on struggled to get a bite even on the float, which we tried for a while but to no avail. Then just as we had decided to go and try the bottom section I had a lovely barbel of 10lb 2oz. We still moved and managed a few chub from the bottom section, again nothing trotting, sometimes they just wont take a moving bait! then a move back up to the first swims really produced the goods. Chris had a lovely 6lb chub first cast back and i managed two more barbel weighing 9lb 8oz and 10lb 3oz. The last one literally pulling the rod round as I picked it up to reel in for the day. All fish came to spiced meat, didn't seem to want pellet as a hookbait. So 3 Barbel and 9 chub overall, lovely stretch, would recommend but access very tricky for lots of the sections and you need waders and or spike and rope for much of it.

River was up about 5ft and water visibility was down to about 12", so a tough day on this beat, but small chub, a small barbel and some dace saved the day, legered maggots and loose feed down the inside worked in the end.
Access to the river was difficult under these conditions and waterside pretty overgrown for much of the beat.

A slightly tougher day, on a river that was slowly dropping. I had a lovely surprise when a Sea Trout picked up my Luncheon Meat bait. Happy Days!
