Eels were about on the meat. Lots of small Chub on the float in the woods. More swimmers than canoes!

Arrived for an evening session at about 5.30. Beautiful evening, water had good colour and looked promising. Only one fish about 7lb for the session on feeder using big pellets for hook bait. Fair bit of weed about but not too problematic really.

What a beautiful place to fish! Fished from "the manhole" in the meadow, as suggested in the excellent notes. Arrived at 0500, fished until 1500. Five chub, one eel and a single barbel of 6.5 Kg (14 pound). Facebook tells me that's a big barbel! Fought like mad. Lost 4-5 chub (I suspect) early in the day. All fish caught on large spam baits.

Water slightly coloured, fine algae-like strings building up on line. Not a problem. My first time river fishing since 2011-2012 I think. Awesome! I'll be back!

River looked perfect when we arrived early morning but within minutes of casting out we had to reel in feeders & hook bait were covered in blanket weed coming down river made it totally impossible to fish Will definitely not be returning until a good flood of rain washes river through
