Had a great day. First time Barbel fishing for two of our group.

Hit the jackpot with the clear blue skies weather and the multicoloured surroundings in autumn were stunning. The river was up and coloured but predictable and steady for the whole day. Fished at the end of the long walk downstream where the Barbel frustrated us throughout the day and four being lost in snags or at the net.

Generally fished with open-end feeder and pellet hookbait leading to 21 chub to keep us going throughout the day. Our single Barbel landed was the last fish of the day.

Will definitely go and have another go soon.

Knew it would be difficult with low temps, so opted for fishing small particles. The Chub certainly obliged, as did one rogue Sea Trout, but the Barbel were elusive. Lovely stretch. Will be back!

Good conditions, float

Travelled down from oxford to find the river up and fast paced, the croys completely submerged and a lot of leaf matter etc coming down. We managed a small chub at the end of the beat and a small barbel from near the hut. 5oz needed to even hold bottom so not the best, will be back in the spring

Sadly no catches today.

Nice bit of water coming through and the barbel were up for a feed but only at the start and end of the day. Nothing between 9am and 3pm.

Fish fairly evenly spread, after river rose 40cm overnight. Most action within first hour and half in any swim. Some of us could have packed up and gone home happy at midday. Expecting a big finish at last knockings but went very quiet in the last hour. Barbel the 4-5lb stamp and biggest chub just made 5lb.
