Barbel caught on double vortex 14mm CKO pellet..

4 chub caught in the first 5hrs, 1 barbel 9lbs 9oz just as it was getting dark. All caught on meat.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

12 degree air temperature, 9.6 degree water bit quite clear. Fished 4 swims and had the only bite from a 4lb Chub an hour before close. Fished same swims I had 3 fish from last week.

1 Chub

Lovely winter venue (and I imagine a glorious summer one!...). Parking good and route along track/s solid. Met Stephan the bailiff early on who was helpful and informative. Weather mild and overcast with river at 1.33m on Ross gauge, and hopes were up. Fished the bottom swim, and two swims halfway up by gates / ramp. All fish came from bottom swim on feeder with spam or bunch maggots. Lost one chub to submerged snag, and pulled out of what I suspect was a barbel.
Failed to land any barbel today, but that's how it goes sometimes! Caught a 10lb pike when reeling in for the last time (for a moment I thought it may have been a seat trout when I saw a silvery flash in the dim light of evening!).

6 Chub, 1 Pike

A cloudy and very windy day, which made float fishing quite difficult.

Four of the grayling were of a good size, one of which weighed in at 1lb 140z, the other two were very small.

The out of season brownies, were all around a pound or less.

It's a very different river this season, not sure what's happened to all the grayling in the 8oz-1lb weight category that were present last year?

Limited access to river, some pegs have been created but I would say more needed. No bites all day
