3 barbel to feeder for Jamie, best 7, very patchy, one other fish lost

3 Barbel

After a wet week my fishing companion and I feared the worst but were pleasantly surprised to find the Arrow in eminently fishable condition, ideal for trotting maggots. However, I failed to connect with any grayling although I did land four out of season trout -6", 2 x 9" and one of 12"- and contrived to lose a bigger fish at the net. My companion persevered with the top weirpool but had only one small trout for his efforts, so moved downstream and landed a nice 12" grayling - our last fish of the day as the forecast heavy rain set in.

Rising river after recent rain. Most fish falling to usual pellet/feeder tactics

River rising rapidly and hard to keep a rod in for more than 10 mins due to the amount of leaves + weed ect coming down. fish caught from several different swims mostly in the morning, alot of swims were un fishable by the afternoon apart from a near bank crease where the biggest of the day came from at 10lb 12oz

Managed a couple of hours fishing over lunchtime.
Bit flooded out after the recent rain i'm afraid, water a little muddy. Quite hard to locate the fish perhaps, or they couldn't see my nymphs so well? Either way nothing doing for my pink shrimp really!

Cold, wet, muddy and happy. River had a few extra centimetres but no colour. struggled a bit holding bottom with loose debris and leaves accumulating but thats wha you get in November. No boats at all.

Fished in the woods with feeder, alternating boilie and pellets, the latter attracting an 8lb barbel. No bites before about 11,30 am.

Very greasy and slippery. would not have got down the bank without my home-made rope-ladder.

Thanks WUF. Back again soon, I hope.

Two nice Barbel, one a double.

No significant change in river level after recent rain but a nice tinge of colour. Most fish fell to maggots and pellet. Great day on a comfortable beat

2 x grayling 6 and 12 inches, 2 x out of season trout 12 and 14 inches, Pink Shrimp and Baetis Duck's Dun. This didn't pan out as hoped exactly - trout still forward on the feeding positions and I think I would have done better to have used dry fly all through. Another warm, windy and rather dark afternoon with rain on the way.
