Fish all day with meat and landed a 6lb chub

1 Chub

Tricky conditions,water was dropping through the day but current was strong, moved about all day fishing in the edge for all fish on boilie fished on a feeder set up. Was visited by a red squirrel during the day which was nice to see, high air temperature made for a lovely day.

3 Barbel

River at 2.6 at Ross, higher than I've fished MHC before, but with a morning temp of 13.5 degrees making it feel more like September than Februrary, I was hopeful. JC was on the bottom field straight so I dropped into the bottom slack that has held chub recently and odd barbel. Apart from pulling out of something first bung I only had knocks and taps not amounting to anything fir the next 3 hours on both gb and maggot feeders. As it's the best looking swim in these conditions I gave it 10 more minutes chucking the maggot feeder down the end of the slack. Two 7lb barbel in 2 bungs followed by a 3lber half hour later made it a brill day already. I fancied a go at the top swim so moved after a chat with JC who'd had a small barbel and 2 chub from slacks further up on meat. One bite was all from the top swim but JC had a 7 and an 8 from the slack to make it 3 - 3 on barbel and a really satisfying day where the promised rain didn't amount to much.

6 Barbel, 2 Chub

No fish caught...tried several pegs but no bites or indicators. Tried many different baits also. River was running very high with a lot of debris coming down the river. That said I had a very enjoyable day in beautiful surroundings..
