2 Chub between 4 rods, rising river, unable to locate the fish but can't complain in such stunning surroundings with good friends

Amazing beat, simply stunning venue. Nothing to show for the efforts apart from a few missed opportunities.

Very windy day first couple of swims no joy except small chub worked hard and found the fish, then had to move due to a wasps nest in the bank after we were both stung netting each others fish. Then moved again and found more fish all to feeder and pellet tactics. Shattered by the time we got back to the car lots of walking carrying our gear ( we traveled light ) but worth it, beautiful surroundings and great looking fish.

Plenty of action throughout the day from the island swim, pellet wrapped in paste kept the fish coming. Mostly small fish in the 1-2lb bracket but some better fish to 8lb 4oz were banked. Had a grass snake take up residence at my feet which was a welcome surprise. Beautiful stretch.

Brilliant afternoons fishing! After various mishaps along the M5 were negotiated, was finally fishing at likely looking peg for 1pm. The wind was strongly gusting upstream and the water level was low and dropping.
Fishing pellet on a cage feeder, the rod tip went over after 20 minutes. It took off like an express train and 10 minutes later a 9lber in mint condition was in the net.
The wind dropped a bit, the water level stayed low and it went on from there. Fish all afternoon! Some big, including a brace of 10lbs plus barbel
What a day! :)
