I spent the day trotting and caught small stuff and the odd bonus chub, but the fishing was hard even though we waded through a lot of the the top section to try and find some decent fish. My pal had a 9.3 barbel on a static bait as well as a decent chub and another smaller Barbel. Tried the Gravel Island down from the Orchard area in the evening (where I had had previous good sessions) but didn't get a bite

Seriously hot and sunny, water levels low.

Very hot day with hardly any sign of fish moving about. I found the upper stretches virtually unfishable due to access and found only a few pegs on the lower level where you could safely fish. All fish came to luncheon meat fished over loose pellet feeding.

Good to see some new pegs opened up in the wooded section, well done WUF.

River low, luncheon meat and sweet corn used. Limited space due to overrun banks . Nice weather.

Wonderful days fishing. Friend unable to come so I had the beat to myself. Chose to fish the bottom end of the beat as there were anglers on the far bank in the top end of the beat, which looked far more barbel. So ended up fishing a slower swim but i had the place to myself and just enjoyed catching chub to 5lb. And then I had a surprise.......a beautiful 8lb barbel came along and picked up my luncheon meat. Fabulous day, thank you.

I feel very privileged to be able to fish suggers on the first day of the season so a big thanks to wuf.
As expected the fishing was hard with a low clear river and the fish not seeing any bait for months. But the club/syndicate on the opposite bank having a work party on the first day REALLY !!!
strimmers and chainsaws going flat out until late afternoon was a surprise . One small disappointed was finding that one of the new swims cut out in the orchard just downstream of the parking area didn't get as far as the river and just ended in a dead end after a lot of hard work .
