Another good day on this beat, biggest barbel just over 8lb, the other was a big perch.

Despite the previous days rain, the river was coloured and only up slightly, not the deluge we expected?
The whole day turned out very hard going and bites were slow despite the overcast conditions.
At first light and 3 hour later the first real bite came, a decent 6lb Barbel, unfortunately the only barbel of the day.
Chub bites were few and far between, but when they came i was either taking a drink or eating a sandwich, lots of bites missed, could have been eels... i don't know, never the less enjoyable day.
Canoe traffic was extreme at one point, i counted 32 that passed me in 10mins, but all courteous and polite.

Thanks WUF & land owners for proving great access to a great river with all the wildlife that comes with it..!

Fished the beach from 12-7pm river in great condition but bites were slow with only 5 chub falling to meat and pellet on feeder. Very bright conditions which may have played a part but river looked in great condition.

One note the gate entering into the bottom field needs looking at the post supporting the hinges also supports the corner of all the boundary cables for that field and when opening the post falls out the hole. Wouldn't want to be responsible for live stock on the loose because of this so admin worth mentioning to the farmer.

River fairly low still but some colour. Very few swims fishable, decent trek over the hill

Left my pre conceived ideas at the door and it paid off. Shortened down my book link and baited accurately. I left knowing the swim still had plenty of bites left as I was clearly where they were feeding.

Well worth the 4hr drive to the venue, fantastic.
