River was up chocolate brown in colour & pushing through, though it did start to drop throughout the day, tried 4 swims, settled in the bottom swim with the big slack, the only one I could get any bites in, couple of Chub to robin red pellets was the reward although just being out in the sun was nice.

Very good venue & well kept no sign of the chub or barbel but enjoyed the day

Enjoyable but very cold day, air temperature 3 degrees and a water temperature of 5.6 did not hold out to much hope of catching anything. Managed 3 welcome Chub, 2 caught on stick float and bread flake and the other to curry flavoured luncheon meat.

Tough day!

Misty warm conditions. River up by 1.5 metres and racing through, a bit of colour, but fining down. A hard slog, but just nice to be on the bankside, especially when sun popped its head out in the afternoon. Pellets, meat and cheese paste used. Heavy (5oz leads and cages) just about holding in slacker water. Chub came along without any huge bite indication, was actually surprised it was on, a dead weight until close in. An old warrior of the river. Half a tail and a rather curious dent on head. A fish of 5lb+ however. Washed out winter coloration.

Memorable day. Cider, cake and mince pies on the bank. A libation poured into the river. Huge numbers of Chub caught this year, but as summer progressed into Autumn, some decent Barbel too.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

River coming up rapidly. Fished the bottom slack which was boiling rather than a slack! Gave up a lost cause finally when the rains came.

1 barbel caught on maggots the rest to luncheon meat.
The chub was caught on a boilie. The other was an eel.
The river was rising throughout the day with a temperature of 9 degrees. A very enjoyable day on a lovely beat.

River falling but suffering from the duel effects of salty runoff and cold water from early in the week.
One chub caught in the eddy margin, one bleak and a Minnow.
