Great day, 2 of us fishing and had a barbel each and some chub and dace

2 Barbel, 35 Chub, 5 Other

River very low. Enjoyable day wading and running a float through various parts of the top beat. Lost a good fish possibly a barbel in a snag. Best chub around 3 pounds.

20 Chub

Short evening session, muggy and overcast. 2 chub about 2 pounds and a clonking 8 pound barbel from the lower end of the beat.

Slightly cooler day, river as low as I have seen it, fished the faster water at the top end of the beat and the middle section later in the day. Started on feed tack ticks and moved on to trotting using meat and sweetcorn caught 40 plus chub around 20 each most in the 1/2 lb to 2 lb size with 3 slightly bigger ones up to 3 lb The only barbel seen appeared to be spawning.
Given the conditions happy with our returns. A very pleasant day thank you.

There were three anglers, but we struggled to find the Barbel.

all fish caught on rolling meat. Top section nice and fishable but bottom section overgrown and steep banks so practically unfishable.

Good day, river had a wee bit of colour but low as to be expected. Barbel are covered in argulus, much worse than last year with all three fish having sores form infestations behind the dorsal fins and above the pecs. Spent time whilst recovering the fish carefully removing. Hopefully a good flush through when it happens will help to wash them off. But I would ask people to keep and eye out.
