Despite the weather and hard conditions we still had a good time, lovely place as always, managed 3 Barbel, 1 Chub and a bonus Pike

Two barbel early on followed by a lull In proceedings until things picked up again mid afternoon. Only a handful of canoes today on a rising river and lots and lots of rain. Steep muddy slopes were treacherous and a staked out rope is essential in such conditions.

Just one fish today but 2 others lost at the net. The river rose steadily throughout the day meaning debris was a real issue, keeping a bait in place for 10 minutes was impossible at times.

Only fished early early morning, in the drain cover swim area. Completly dead.

Very hard day. River out of sorts

We used one rod to target barbel with a feeder and the other trotting stick float with maggots. While we had no luck on feeder there was plenty of action on the float, catching mostly good sized dace and a few chub. Overall good day fishing.

3 anglers fished. River low and clear, not ideal for this stretch which is dominated by slow flowing water. Managed some nice fish though, barbel of 8.12, 9.09 and 2 between 6 - 7lb, one of the chub was 5lb+.
One issue with a far bank angler setting up pretty much opposite one of our swims where we were already fishing - it’s a shame not all anglers are considerate of others.
Would like to fish the stretch again in high water conditions.
