A tough day at the Creel. Barbel seemed not to be up for it today. My colleague did manage to find one but the river was unusually quiet with only the occasional chub making an appearance. A lovely day and will be back soon. Thank you for the addition of the steps to assist with access.

river extremely low now. as not fished here before turned up for a river showing its bones. the only likely looking swim another angler was set up in so i roved the lower section with no success not even a knock. lovely stretch of water but really does need a couple more feet of water to fish well. even the reliable chub were not playing ball today. a few large salmon showing

This stunning beat is always a joy to fish and the abundance of wildlife here is always an uplifting experience especially on a warm summers day !! Although we did not stay late when it usually switches on here we still managed to catch a few very hard fighting Barbel despite having low expectations. Groundbait feeder was the winning method on this occasion with both pellet and corn catching the fish.

The river here now is very low indeed but thought I would give it a go for a while after breaking camp at the lovely Tan house farm site . Very little moving on top which is not surprising but a chunky foam beetle got their attention.
The fish went from 10 - 13inch and all in super , plump , condition and the 13incher was properly portly !
Will be back after some rain and hopefully some of that soon ...please!
