First time on this stretch and after the recent floods, found the river in good order. Fish caught on a mix of home-made and shop -bought pellets.

My first ever visit to fish for Barbel/Chub, river had dropped from previous few days but still fast flowing, 3 Barbel 6lb, 8lb & 6.5lb. One Chub 3lb. Barbel took pellet, chub meat. Used large feeder, with 4' hook trace. Moved from swim opposite the castle after taking first Babel and Chub to a swim opposite the car parking area, fished last 2 hours there and caught x2 Barbel, all in near side crease. Struggled to hold bottom but just about manageable.

Kept mobile today and we were rewarded with some nice grayling trotting maggot , most in the 1/2 lb region but two fish over 2lbs and a couple of chub near the 3lb mark

Returning to normal levels but strong flow made holding bottom difficult. Only 2 Barbel on pellet between 3 anglers plus a few chub. A surprise 14lb 6oz pike stayed hooked after grabbing a small chub.

Glorious autumnal day. Lovely misty morning then warming sunshine after midday. Had a hectic couple of hours with nice Chub coming to maggot feeder. These fish were in superb condition. The level was 1.2m at Ross and falling nicely. I did not connect with a barbel all day., Tried pellets and paste but not a single whisker. Maybe a drop in temperture the last few days has put them off for a while. A wonderful day in peaceful surroundings. Went home a happy man

A quick afternoon session to see if Rachel could catch her fist barbel. Mission accomplished!
