Using feeder with pellet managed one chub around 1lbs would of liked to have had a bit more water. Lots of rowing vessels up until midday.

A tough day despite the river looking perfect for a Barbel or two (up a few feet, plenty of colour, mild weather). Checked out several areas but due to oversleeping and arriving late I only actually fished in two swims. Two perfect conditioned Chub taken on maggots from a big crease in the bottom field saved the blank. Wish I'd moved to that swim earlier, because it seems to be a good high water spot :-)

Difficult day in bright conditions. Both barbel came in the last half hour on paprika flavoured meat and after struggling all day at least I left feeling relatively happy.

I found the river to be high and fast and chose to fish close in to the bank dropping my line close to an over-hanging tree.I was rewarded by landing two chub, each approx 3-4lb. The first on legered meat, the second on cheese. Fish were rising and jumping throughout the day and I was accompanied by a robin who opted to share a sandwich with me. I love this river and think it is definitely worth the 320 mile round trip just for the pleasure of viewing it, I'll be back again over the holidays.

Two low double figure pike caught on deadbait and lure, River low with a slight tinge of colour, rain for much of the day. There was a lot of salmon crashing about and a few were seen swimming around in the slacks.

Arrived to a clear river with mild conditions, took 3 chub to just under 5lb in successive casts then all went quite for a few hours, moved about with no further action.
Had a nice barbel around the 7 pound mark mid afternoon, packed up about 3pm. A very enjoyable mid winter days fishing in beautiful surroundings.

Mild breezy mostly cloudy day. River rising steadily though little colour. It looked good for a couple of barbel but no sign of them all day. Lost a good chub to a hook pull early in afternoon and suffered the same fate with another later on. And that was it!
