River coloured and running with a bit of height. Slow going only 2 barbel but lots of chub. I always see reports about people catching an eel. Thought it was a myth until now.

A pleasant days fishing, we both settled into swims on Upper Sallys. We caught Chub to 4lb on both feeder and also trotting the float using meat and pellet. Unfortunately no Barbel were caught.
The drive to the hut around the edge of the field could be greatly improved if the tall grass in the middle of the track was cut back, at one point it was like driving through the grasslands of the Serengeti.

Great day at Middle Hill with bites from the 1st cast. Ended up with chub to 4lb and barbel to 9lb . At times I would get a fish within 30secs of the bait hitting the deck! Ideal conditions with the river up about 1ft+ dropping and a good colour with the weather warm and partly cloudy. There seems to be a good few new swims cut out in the bottom third of the beat especially for float fishing with additional parking down opposite the castle. Surprisingly I didn’t have anything in the last few hours of the evening but who’s complaining! No doubt return at some point probably in the Autumn

River up bit and a touch of colour. Fished the slower water on the near bank for a couple of chub but then moved down to the faster water on the inside and picked up the barbel , all within an hour. Sticky baits 16mm Krill did the damage for those who think its important. Find the fish and bait selection is academic in my experience but bait companies have to make a living so whatever you have confidence in go with.
