2 Barbel, 12 Chub

Fished with two nymphs above and below bridge, both banks. One tiny pull. Good to see slime free gravel but not much in the way of invertebrates under the stones I lifted. One LDO spotted and a few midges here and there.

fast flowing and clear conditions. good stamp of chub caught up to 5.5lb and a bonus 6lb barbel which was in great condition.

Bait was bread and maggots. Bread caught the better stamp of fish.

River was in good nick and conditions favourable for March. One other angler fishing , who had fished the fishery quite a lot.
Decent amount of swims with good variety and good accessibility. Ledger tactics with meat and maggots accounted for some nice chub but no barbel. Other were 2 great condition trout. Other angler caught about 4 or 5 chub
Arrival of bailiff with multiplier spinning outfit, spinning though my swim was a bit unusual but not totally surprising. He was a decent chap.

GARNONS, 28lb salmon for Ricky Reno at 1.30pm. Took a red fc.
What a fight, jumping and stripping line.

Fishing Passport Note : The fish was initially reported as 28lb but the tape was misread and recalculated as 15lb.

The day started clear and sunny, about 7C when I started fishing at 1030. Breeze picked up from 11 and the best is quite exposed so I felt the cold, especially when it clouded over at noon. Water is a brisk 4C and I forgot my thermals so was chilled to the bone and finished at 3 as a few spots of rain started.

No hatch or other fly life seen and no fish made themselves obvious. I tried heavy bugs in the deep channels, nymphs drifted under dries and spiders fished down and across - nothing doing today.

Good access to the beat which feels nice and secluded. I imagine it will be lovely when a tad warmer!
