Unfortunately I didn't catch today, weather was a bit chilly so went for a walk instead just as enjoyable but without a tasty trout! ☹️

4 Barbel

All fishing caught on either stickfloat or feeder. Meat on the hook and feeding hemp and pellets

Great day on the lucky rock. Trying to get through the chub was pretty impossible, but had a huge chub over 6lb and a double barbel all on double 8mm pellet

1 Barbel, 29 Chub

Fish were def down the bottom end in the fast water. Unfortunately the cows were too and the bull def wasn’t happy about us being there.

Only fished for two hours while it was still cloudy. Nice ripple on the water and caught 5 fish, 2 on a streamer and three on a black and peacock spider. All quality fish, the smallest about 3/4lb and largest pushing 1.75lb.

5 Trout

0 bites dull day no action for the 3rd time this year, surly it needs stocking more as you are paying a lot for no reward!

2 Trout, lost 3rd on reeling in. Nice day through

Sadly not 1 trout ???? this week or last week however, I did catch 10 pesky perch that were in excellent condition and all were returned safely and swam away.

slow day on this stretch, plenty of water to go at but the fact anglers can fish the other bank (and it was busy...) limited where you could slot in ..of course not wanting to fish directly opposite, or merely meters down from someone and spoil there and my own fishing!

Found a couple decent looking swims in the first field, boat and canoe traffic was just a joke from 11am - 2pm though so I'd recommend not even bothering during that time. people coming in close, one couple deciding to swap seats in my swim and ending up beneath my feet! - in the end I managed 5 chub, couple really long lean fish, just spawned would of been 5s but as they were two about 4 half and the others between 2-3lb. One lost fish, possibly a Barbel kited me on long line into a overhanging tree, snagged and managed to throw the hook.

track down is fine for about 80%, but that last 20% is not great in just a 2WD car - if it had any sustained rain would be struggle, would recommend a 4x4 if possible.
