The river level has risen half a metre overnight. The influx seemed to deter the barbel.


Only 3 chub between.

First time on beat,tried right bank at first .Good access and directions but accessible swims at bottom end of beat and my buckaroo days are in the past. Walked the length of the beat and spotted an opposite bank swim that looked good. Didn’t realise Goodrich left hand side is Middle Hill Court upper end.???? When eventually got to swim, IMPRESSED !! Strimmed off , steps cut into bank, even straw scattered on bank!! Great day all barbel not a single chub! Three proper ones , a couple of barblets ..may even had a double figure day.. can’t remember. Fished a mixture of baits all day and only caught on one obscure bait… weird!

Good day, tried upstream right hand side bank at first, good access and directions. Walked the length of the stretch, river pushing through. Only swims at bottom accessible/fishable. My Buckaroo days are behind me, but spotted swim on other side so tracked over to there.Half hour later..... Being dull didn't realise its the top section of MHC, dooohhh!!
Well , the swim had been strimmed, steps cut in, large , flat area over laid with straw. IMPRESSED!!!!!
Had a great day, for me anyway, three proper barbel, some beautiful miniature torpedoes(barblets). ....and a couple of mediums. It may even had been a double figures day...if I could count. Strangely not a chub all day.....go figure??? Tried a few baits but only caught on one strange concoction, only on a lead not on a a feeder??
Fishing is ......a funny old game...love it!!
