We had a tough day on this beat as the banks were rather over grown and the water levels low. However we did manage to catch a few fish using pellet and feeder. We were especially pleased to see this baby Barbel, which was caught on a 12mm square piece of luncheon meat. Unfortunately luncheon meat also attracts Eels and we had two of those, yuk!

This was the first time that we had fished this stretch and despite having high hopes and an early 7am start the fishing was extremely tough going. I had read about the 'Lucky Stone' and having travelled with too much gear it was really not an option for us this time. We settled in to the swim directly next to the Fishing Hut. The river was very low, coloured and not looking like ideal conditions.
The 2 small Chub were caught with feeder tactics and a mix of corn and pellets and thats about as good as it was ever going to get with continued dog owners allowing their dogs to jump in to the river and a steady stream of noisy canoeists bumping along the bottom.
We will be back though to try the other, more prolific swims but will try and plan a time when there is a bit more water and less activity!
