The conditions of the river were perfect today , 2ft higher after the rain earlier in the week and a nice colour to the water which made the fishing great catching chub to 5 1/2 lb and barbel to 8lb . Another good day on this beat .

Productive few hours fishing the wooded section. Barbel to nearly 9lb, a chub and an eel falling to pellet fished on running lead rigs. Great beat, all fish in fantastic fighting fit condition. Back in the autumn.

Nice conditions, bit of flow, colour and most importantly the dogs/canoes/swimmers/paddlers/campers all behaved themselves and allowed uninterrupted fishing. Managed to land 4 barbel of the 7-9 lb size on a standard feeder method
lost another 3 , 2 due to snags and 1 dropped the hook. a small chub and a fat eel made up the rest. a good day out in
nice surroundings.

Arrived to the river to find it up a foot and nicely coloured. Started off on pellet and bomb and needed to up the lead size to account for the amount of debris being washed down the river. Had 5 barbel in quick succession then steadily picked a few off before leaving at 5pm. We were lucky to miss the rain as the wind almost caused inside-out brollys a couple of times before we gave them up as a bad job.

The river dropped about 3inches in the time we were there and had we not had to leave early then I'm sure we would have had a good few more fish.

Please add this to my previous catch return:

Also, to the angler who was fishing the steps below the church - thanks very much for leaving what looked like a full bag of pellets, sweetcorn and also maggots 'tut tut'. The WUF documents clearly state that maggots etc cannot be used until September but I have seen reports of people using these in recent weeks (one very recently on How Caple Court). I don't understand why people cannot abide by the rules - they are there for a reason...

We also picked up the litter you had left...
