Lovely fishing morning, cool and overcast, but water still crystal clear with little flow. Fished the stones up into the faster water 0930 to 1630 with bomb and bags. Had a 6lb barbel after an hour then a 5lber an hour later. 4 chub as well. Swapped to a gb feeder lunchtime and added 4 more chub. Back on the bags for the last 90 mins for another 5lber and one lost on a cutoff. Hookbaits various. So a good day.

3 Barbel, 10 Chub

Loafer floats with luncheon meat or pellets on the hook. Fed pellets and hemp and luncheon meat. Groundbait feeder with the same hookbaits

4 Barbel, 27 Chub

Couple of hours roaming between Titley bridge and Hunton bridge. Water sparse and expectations low but managed a 9" trout from a lovely little run on a micro-nymph. This stretch ,unusually, is relatively open with no barbed wire fences or yards of brambles unlike the upstream reaches. I met the landowner who had instigated much clearing of the RH bank, not least to allow more light onto the water. All credit to you, Sir.
