River was very low and clear, conditions were very wet and overcast all day.
I had 14 chub and 7 barbel, nearly all were on rolling meat method in various swims, a couple fell to feeder later on in the evening.
My brother had 10 chub and 1 barbel, most of which were caught on feeder with pellet hookbait and a couple on the float with meat.

Hard work today very wet, problems young cows wanted to sit on your lap or get under your brolly which ment you spent more time watching your gear than fishing but that’s cows for you, the main disappointment was tried to fish the woods but it’s was like a little village full of wild campers and all the nice swims was full of kayaks and all there gear, so we couldn’t fish the woods at all so couldn’t get away from cows, had to use spike and rope to get out of some swims, definitely recommend one in the wet, hill was fun to drive on way out.

Wasn't fortunate enough to get amongst the barbel , whole day was receiving knocks from smaller fish, chub predominantly, from which I manage to strike few small chub, but for my surprise my first fish on a 15mm krill dumbbell was a decent perch of about 2lb

Basically a rekkie trip . Entered from the downstream end. Road access is good along the long strech but there are a few junctions where you have to make a decision. We are all senior citizens and found access to the waterside vert difficult. Maybe 1 swim at the bottom end by the island with a rope. Then a long stretch of sluggish water till you get to the suspension bridge where again you would need a rope to access the good looking swims there. We avoided the rope swing swing knowing what would happen when the walkers arrived. Many of them on a friday.
We settled at the top end because of easy steps downstream of the slalom course. We had 4 chub and 3 eels before leaving at lunchtime. Like to return but despite the ease of vehicular access the access to the river is a challenge. Left by the upstream gate - much easier.
