Started in the faster water below the bridge, which produced 2 average size barbel and a chub. Due to canoes and selfish idiots swimming right through the deeper glides (and right through the swims we were fishing!), it was necessary to move at midday and find some deeper, quieter swims. This produced a corking 8lb 4oz barbel in the early evening. All fish in perfect condition, and fighting well.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Not one bite! Was there from 5pm till 9pm. 3 Cray fish mind????

Fair day with reasonable hatch and fish rising in one or two locations. Dry fishing hampered by downstream wind and only managed to rise a couple of fish on CDC olives. Caught a WBT on PTN which was returned unharmed.

River very low and clear, baking hot sunny day, couldn’t stay until dusk due to family commitments. Tough day no fish, saw a couple of nice barbel in the shallows. Ps the extraction pump ran most of the day.

Sat 24 June a.m. was disappointing as we had bites but not many real takes and caught just 1 Chub. We had been using feeders & PVA bag with pellet on the hook. We reviewed our method for the afternoon session and decided to just fish a pellet on the hook with no feeder or PVA and started to catch immediately at regular intervals, 6 Barbel to 6 lb 7 oz and 5 Chub to +4 lb. A good looking easy to fish beat and we look forward to going back.

6 Barbel, 5 Chub
