Huge chub, around 45cm! Returned to the stream after photos.

1 Chub

A great day's fishing in a beautiful spot.
Hard work getting to the Stones and could be tricky in wetter conditions, but worth it today as not too slippy. My rope was handy accessing the swim.
My first ever barbel on the float, using meat as bait, the rest on ledgered pellets.
Water temp. 17.8°.

7 Barbel, 15 Chub

5 Trout, 2 Other

5 of us fishing on a showery day with light winds. Float fishing and ledgering with worm, and spinning. 1 small brownie caught which was safely returned. 1 rainbow hooked but unfortunately snapped the line. Other than that absolutely nothing. Very poor day for £115.

Although conditions were far better than we expected we only managed four Chub and a very angry Perch of a little over a pound on meat and a good Barbel lost to a hook pull. Can't help feeling we under achieved!!!.

Small trout took a floating fry mini lure but released itself within a minute.

Great morning fishing. River up overnight with the rain seemed to turn the fish on. Not much rising all taken on nymphs.

Not a bite worm . Or spinner

I arrived in thick cloud and squally showers but was cheered by the glimpse of a hen harrier hunting low over the moors. The rain came and went. The wind did not and continued to be a challenge but at least it provided a healthy ripple. The fish were obliging and I lost or rose as many as were netted. All were feisty, dark tanned half pounders. What fly you may ask....Just stick with the Model T Ford. Offer them anything so long as it's black. I stopped fishing after four hours or so to give the fish some respite.
