Sunshine and heavy showers were the order of the day. The river again low and flow minimal. Had to resort to smaller baits and hooks to get a bite which even then were tentative. Managed three barbel to about seven pounds and two eels, all to small ellips pellets and feeder.

Remember luncheon meat? Switched to it early afternoon, immeadiate result 10lb barbel. All the other barbel were a similar weight and chub between 3 & 5lbs. One wonderful eel about 2ft long & 2 inch diameter who obligingly did a double twisting back flip unhooking itself & slithering back down into the river. will be back in the winter. 15lb line throuhout, snapped off by something that flew upstream at about 100 mph?

2 of us fished 2 days at Foy. 1st day was low and clear, the second still low with a little more colour. Only really two swims fishable when the river was this low which was a shame. Brilliant chub fishing regardless. Fish from 2-6lb on standard feeder tactics and a few eels just mix things up.

The river was lower then the previous week and therefore din't hold so many barbell although the chub were very hungry as usual. Feeder and pellet was the method used. The largest barbel was 7lbs 8oz the others around the 4lb mark. Need some rain to increase river level.

My first time at The Creel - a lovely stretch with the best fishing from the island downstream. The weather was very mixed, warm then windy and wet. I caught my first barbel first cast early doors, then at various intervals throughout the day and my last just before the heavy rain and winds early evening. It seemed to go quiet at the times of the weather changes but a good day on a lovely river, countryside and wildlife.

All fish caught on the feeder and halibut pellets. Water levels very low, most fish caught on the
Beach.

Overcast day fished the Marl beach swims and also waded. LS waded and trotted with centrepin losing two barbell, one a possible double but caught two chub. Switched to feeder and pellet to land five barbel. PS caught his first ever double barbell - ten pound four ounces and in perfect condition, along with eight others between five pound & eight pounds. Wonderful stretch will be booking a return visit for next year.
