10 Barbel, 2 Chub, 1 Other

Feeder fishing saw us catch several chub, 1 sea trout, 4 barbel to 9lb 4oz and 1 lost. Water very coloured as heavy rain over the 48hrs leading to session. Mud was no issue and is beautiful. We parked in layby as can't drive down in rain. 500yrd walk was OK.

1 Sea Trout, 4 Barbel, 9 Chub

Tough days fishing resulting in only the one barbel, but a nice fish to just over 8lb in perfect condition. River pretty coloured following Friday's rain.
Fished a mix of pellet and crushed boilie in open ended feeder.
Nice beat, would definitely return. The track was really nothing to worry about and got down and back up easily.

1 Barbel

River slightly up and heavily coloured. Pacey water, 4oz+ to hold, even in slacker stretches. Weather very wet to begin with, then sunny intervals. Most fish caught during overcast spells. Barbel from 3 to 10lbs. Chub from 1 to 5lb. Ledgered pellet and luncheon meat. Spiced up a little because of water colour.

Excellent session around midday, when fish came every ten minutes for two hours.

Steady catching of chub and barbel all day until weather broke, a good bit of river.

Strange sort of day ,started quietly but the Thunderstorm with torrential rain arrived in mid afternoon at about the same time the Barbel started feeding, managed a few up to around 7.5 lbs before the wet and slippery banks forced us to pack up a bit early ,nice to meet Stefan and get some tips for our next visit.

4 Barbel, 8 Chub

Good day again on this beat,12 barbel to 6lb feeder meat /pellet, 2 chub both over 4lb , most caught in first section in woods where it's not so snaggy and slightlydeeper .

12 Barbel, 2 Chub

Another slow day interrupted by pretty spectacular thunderstorm. Marine based baits ineffective, sweetcorn the most successful.

Excellent stay at The Cottage of Content
