2 Barbel

1 chub (1.5 lb) on trotted bread. Hard work. River high and banks difficult to access.

Not fished this beat for some years, its now very overgrown and in dire need of a trim. I jumped in the last swim in the meadow, tried various baits and methods, baring the odd knock or two nothing really happened, after a swift move into the wooded area third cast i was into my first Barbel, very snaggy and lost lots of tackle in snag in front of me, apart from that i caught throughout the day until it went quiet around 2pm and decided to call it a day before the heavens opened that was forecast for the day came.
Canoe traffic was horrendous, I've never seen so many canoeist there must have been a 100 or more that past me during the day all very courteous and considerate i might add with the exception of one foul mouthed idiot.

Thanks again to the WUF and Landowners for giving us anglers great access to a great river along with all the wild life that comes with it.

The swims were very overgrown so there was only 2 to choose from so the stretch could do with some pruning/TLC

Fished for an hour before giving up and booking onto another beat close by. Access is very poor with most swims difficult to fish (I’m in my 30’s and don’t mind a challenge). Lots of litter strewn all over the bank - I spent my hour of fishing surrounded by a broken fishing brolly, plastic bags and discarded beer cans. The car park is a small lay-by off a busy road - On returning to my car I noticed I’d parked next to a pile of human faeces. All in all the least WUF beat I have ever fished, and seems a little cheeky to charge over £20 for the ‘pleasure’ of fishing it.

It’s been a long time since I was here last , very overgrown from what I remember. Beautiful stretch and had it all to ourselves!
Fish on the first cast which is always nice , and the rest were staggered through the day . River was up a bit and a nice colour, always a good sign . Weather not to bad either, usual pellet / feeder tactics . First proper barbel session of the season for my mum , cracking day !

Great day on a beatiful stretch of river, 15 barbel caught including 2 doubles, will certainly look to return in the near future
