Another very cold start to the day sadly killed the barbel sport. Between four anglers the most we could muster up were 2 eels.

Scaled back tactics due to colder water. Had a barbel early on but then went quiet for the rest of the day until dusk. Fished for a pike during the quiet spell to rest the swim.

Lovely day - river in good condition but very little action from the fish. One angler no bites all day. one angler 3 bites and one chub around 3-3.5 lb on maggot.

Conditions looked perfect, but a difficult day. Both fish caught late on, nothing throughout the day.

3oz feeder. Hook baits Meat and pellet. I didn't get a bite until after sunset on meat. Tried two swims. Blanked but it was nice to be in a beautiful spot.

A bit tricky to park.

Nice beat, but only a few swims to look at in the top section with myself and one other angler. River looked good, but as soon as sun was on the water it went very quiet for much of the day. The second the sun dipped beyond the trees there were a few knocks on the rod. Then quiet again. Would visit again, but get there earlier! Would suggest the parking details need an update as the area recommended has 'no parking' signs and cones that indicate the waterworks would rather anglers didn't!

Tough going today. River dropping, but just couldn’t find the fish.

2 Chub

River level had dropped considerably on Saturday and looked better on the Sunday but was rising fast throughout the day and blanked for the first time. A couple of the swims that used to be fishable were no longer and did upset another angler on the day. A little more work on the swims accessibility and safety wouldn't go amiss.
