1 x 1lb barbel

1 Barbel

Caught 25 barbel all on fish meal and pellet feeder with 8 mm pellet on the hook, mostly small fish with the biggest maybe around the 4lb mark, this beat is only really fishable early or late due to canoeing or swimming activities, also 2 reasonable dace caught.

Only fished the morning until 1.00pm. Wish it had been the other way round, caught 6 Barbel and 17 Chub!!! When the sun got fully on the river, at one stage I counted 50-60 Chub cruising the surface. Once again the river low and the weather hot.

6 Barbel, 17 Chub

Water very low in places due to persistent hot weather. No barbel or chub seen or caught. 1 eel graced my net unfortunately.

Lovely day, walked down to the usual spot to find a shoal of about 50 chub just basking on the surface. Caught Chub from the surface with bubble float and bread flake. The barbel were caught in the morning and evening from the river bottom on the corner with halibut pellets. Biggest Barbel just over 8Lbs. Thanks WUF
