A milder night with water starting to fine down but water temp. still only 6c. Bright sunshine, air temp. only 10c.
Fished pegs just up stream from road side parking. Had a 6lb 5oz barbel first cast on 4oz feeder and 12mm halibut pellet. Both of us didn't have a bite for the rest of the day. Finished at 1.00pm a long way back to Boston.

1 Barbel

Fished for 2 days on Legg Meadow for just one small barbel but conditions were less than ideal with water temperature still very low. As always thoroghly enjoyed fishing this excellent stretch and looking forward to doing so again next season in hopefully better conditions.

The river had dropped overnight and felt that we might find a few fish in the deeper sections at the top, unfortunately 3 anglers were already in this section, settled for 2 swims at the start of the woods, tried all baits without joy.

My friend had one chub of about 3.5lb. I was using float ledgered deadbait for the Pike. Had 4 fish of approximately: 5lb, 9lb, 9lb and 11lb.
As in a previous session, the Pike went frantic at around 2:00pm for an hour when I had three of my fish. The last came at around 4:30pm. A good session, though the Pike were a little smaller than the average size.

River high coloured no fish for me tried pellet, maggot, meat.

Difficult day, not unfishable but the river was high & moving through very quickly due to the heavy rain from earlier in the week, tried several different swims, spending a few hours in each & trying the usual method & selection of baits for the Barbel which have worked for us previously, nothing caught which we put down to the low water temperature more than any of the other factors.

River conditions were high but not unsafe. Methods were deadbaiting and ledgering.

Using mackerel and bluey deabait.
Four Pike: 14lb, 13lb, 9lb and 5lb.

Lost two other fish. Water colour had cleared a little, so the fish were feeding better than they were a couple of days ago when I blanked.

Using mackerel deadbait. Only one dropped run.
