Nil caught

Fairly low river, overcast to start, but the sun came out for the afternoon. Mainly float fished. Worked hard, but couldn't get them going consistently.

Lovely spot, very peaceful day.

River low and clear. Fished 10mm boilies over krill groundbait / feed pellets in the deeper wooded section. Picked up a beautifully conditioned 8.4 barbel. Lost a nice chub in the near side weed

Tough fishing but still enjoyable, barbel fell to ledger and loose fed pellet. Chub on the stick float.
Pheasant in the woods was very protective of a few pegs.

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

A short notice trip meant a visit to a new stretch and this looked the best option looking at recent results. Weather was perfect to start with but cleared up after mid day.

I started in the meadow but one hook pull on a small chub was the extent of 2 1/2 hours between float and lead. Moved up into the wood and had a good go on the float in 5 foot of water (one chub) before swapping to bomb and bags and then feeder for the last 2 hours. One more chub but no barbel despite trying various hook baits. Having read odd reports that there were no swims was pleased to find 7 and I didn't reach the bottom end of the beat. Good parking at the top end, decent access and the road noise not as noticeable as expected so a good day despite no barbel and a stretch to return to.

2 Chub
