Excellent days fishing. All fish caught on hair rigged pellet and hair rigged luncheon meat.
The water level started rising around midday, which slowed the bites down a bit, but still had bites consistently throughout the day.

Caught 1 barbel of 7lb 7oz. mid morning. Halibut pellet and feeder. There was a lot of pike activity in the swim most of the day. Two chub came late on as the light was fading. The largest about 3 1/2 lb. Wonderful wildlife. Kingfishers, Goosander, Bats, Salmon leaping. Even a hornet in mid October. Enjoyed it.

Good day - fish cooperated, We used two methods - with the baskets and pebble both - they both worked well.We used pellets and boili.In the afternoon the water level began to rise and the river was carrying a lot of natural sediment which made it a little difficult to fish.

We arrived at dawn. The river was up, coloured and bombing through. 1 small barbel caught 1st cast, then nothing again until late afternoon when the fish switched on. 8 barbel caught in total, the best being a new pb of 10lb 2oz for my brother. A great fish in mint condition! All fish caught on feeder and pellet. Lots of snags to avoid. The canoe traffic was fairly heavy, but caused no problem at all. Lovely stretch of river, we will definitely be back in the summer.

River was up a foot or so and in lovely condition, dropping slowly throughout the day. Fished little 9mm boilies to groundbait feeder and caught from three different swims.

River was fining down after a 2 foot rise the day before and was in good form, helped by unseasonably warm temperatures and some good cloud cover. We started in the wood swim and had a couple of Barbel and some small chub before moving up to the meadow. Using standard feeder and pellet tactics we managed a further 10 Barbel throughout the day, to just shy of 10lb with most fish in the 7-8lb bracket and at least 3 being over 9lb. A fantastic day on the river at a lovely time of year.
