Solid with Chub as usual. Waggler fished shallow with small cubes of meet. A beautiful stretch but it was concerning how many of the chub now have damaged mouths, no doubt from the pressure this stretch receives. Also many of the chub had lice on them which is something I've not noticed on previous visits. 2 anglers fished.

Overcast and cooler than recently (although it warmed up in the afternoon), grainy tinge of colour to the water, 19 degree water temp, and reasonable flow despite the 0.16 RoW level reading. Started down the bottom trying to catch a barbel in the first hour, one of us using pellet on the float, the other boillie and bag across to the trees. Only one chub each. Swapped to meat over pellet or hemp on the float and we both had 100lb or so in 4 hours. Moved further up to try for a barbel where there were less chub but with a few more chub but no barbel. Vast majority of the chub in the 3 to 4lb bracket and great to catch on the float.

a lovely stretch and plenty to choose from. Chub predominant, on meat and pellet. Sat it out with 2 14mm pellets on the hair, which had the effect of slowing down the chub, but alas no barbel.....at least not in the swims or not feeding.
