Tough day, cold overnight with a frost so not ideal conditions. Fished the deeper sections managed 2 chub between us.

Nice to be able to park next to the river, seamed to be quite a fast shallow stretch, found one swim with some deeper slower water which I started in, caught a Chub after about an hour then decided to explore the rest of the beat, the other swims were difficult to access some with steep banks all with fast shallow water, returned to my original swim to catch another Chub. Glad I was the only one on the beat & was able to move back into my original swim. Fished the RH bank as you look upstream, fish caught on Robin Red pellet

Tough day. Looked perfect too. Never mind was very tranquil

As this was the last day of the mild spell I negotiated a fishing day with The Long Suffering Pauline (TLSP) and headed here as 2 good chub had come from the bottom swim recently - my usual MHC having produced 3 blanks on the last three reports.
I fished the bottom swim in the morning for 2 chub and the last 2 hours for 1 chub, all about 4lb, on GB feeder and maggot or meat. I tied 3 swims above it in between for only one missed bite. As it was as a mild as Spring and with a 7 degree water temp I'd hoped for more but was happy with the 3 chub. I apologise again to the pike angler who booked on the day who I suspected of being a poacher as as at 0900 I was still the only person booked on. Turned out he was legit and we eventually came to an amicable agreement on use of THE swim and both a decent example of our target quarry out of it.

After Grayling but sadly they evaded us. Few brownies all swiftly put back in great condition plus 1 x minow or other worlds smallest fish.
Nice day fishing.

A lovely stretch of river but yet again neither of us had a touch, we used meat and pellets, nothing, i think I'll wait for the summer now.

Perfect conditions, mild, sunny, river looked glorious. Sadly no fish. For information, the upstream track leading to the parking area is blocked by a pile of rubbish. Not sure if it's traveller deterrent or fly tipping. Anyway you can't drive down it.

Fishing Passport Note : 15th Feb 2023. The blockage has since been cleared.
