River was absolutely spot on, still carrying a little extra colour and flow. Weather very benign with just a couple of showers in the afternoon. Started in the swim immediately upstream of the cattle drink and quickly lost two barbel to hook pulls in short order, before finally landing a tiddler (around 3lb) and a modest Chub. Bites then tailed off, so moved to the very upstream limit, where there's a really deep hole close in and had the rest of the fish from there. The Chub were going nuts for lumps of Luncheon meat, but the Barbel all came to feeder tactics with pellet or boilie on the hook. This is a fantastic stretch that I'll definitely return to.

As 3 others fishing today I arrived at first light but to see an angler already walking down the bottom end, so I started up the top. River at 1.34 Ross gauge and a lovely colour with a foot vis, sunny intervals a.m. cloudy and rainy p.m.
Had 2 small chub and a 6lb barbel in the first hour and a aff and lost one, then nowt for a couple of hours. Just thinking of moving and had another 2 chub, biggest 4.05. Eventually moved early afternoon and added another 4 barbel to 8lb and a small chub. GB feeder and pellet or boillie. It does seem to be very 'peggy' at the moment so you need to be prepared to move. Thanks WUF.

Only a few bites all day - and landed only one chub. Water high and coloured, banks treacherous, ropes essential. Lovely setting though.

Short session (4.5 hours) in the morning, river fining down nicely-looked almost un-fishable on this beat 48 hours before. Found a inside crease off a bend where 3-4oz lead/feeder held bottom ok. 2x Barbel (biggest 8lb 6oz) 3x Chub (biggest 5lb) taken on groundbait feeder with meat on the hook, put a lot of stinky additive on feed squeezed tight into feeder for a sent trail through the chocolate coloured water. Lovely spot, forested all around, lots of wildlife to see wish I could have stayed all day , will return.

River was too high and fast to fish pylon swim so fished just back a bit by the wooden bench where water was slower. Had 2 small Chub on meat.
