Please note we also fished Middle Hill Court on the 9th August - 2 anglers, caught a total of 3 barbel to 8lb in weight.

1 Barbel, 6 Chub

River was about a foot up and slightly coloured. Slow going, but a pleasant day regardless.

The river had risen about a foot and was in nice condition with a bit of color. Spent a bit of time with Colin, who not only put me in the right swim but is also an expert at pulling swim feeders out of snags! Thanks.
Plenty of fish under the far bank, chub were coming in the ratio of four chub to one barbel. However with chub up to around five pounds, it was hardly disappointing.
All the fish were taken of pellet and feeder.

2 barbel to me and one to my old man. River bed was plastered in silkweed unlike my last visit a few weeks ago which made presentation difficult, and it was strangely quiet. Normally the rod is rattling constantly from the attentions of chublets and eels but next to nothing today.
At least the salmon put on a fine display as usual, along with a few barbel with aspirations of flight!

A lovely day weather wise, however the river was still rising from the previous two days of rainfall. Fished with meat(tinned ham) and between us managed only five chub and two dace from beats three and four. Two of the chub were five pounds plus. We will return to this very beautiful stretch in an attempt to to tempt the the barbel.

Afternoon visit to this well kept fishery. Colin directed me to a going swim and caught from start to feeder and small pellet. Barbel up to 7lb, and chub to 4lb. Bites seemed to dry up in evening despite the river level being up from last few days.

4 Chub & 4 wild carp and the unwelcome capture of an American signal crayfish.

Slight rise but still very low and clear.
