River in spate and unfishable

River in spate and unfishable

River in spate, highly coloured and unfishable. Frustrating!

Fished top stretch beyond car park. Caught 1 barbel 9lb close in on pellet and ground bait feeder, 1 big barbel lost and 1 chub caught. Bailiff really helpful and rope assisted access to swims a real benefit when it rained.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Very wet and muddy day. Had the pleasure of witnessing Andy's impressive chub haul, I caught a single chub 6lb 2oz
nice way to end the river season !

1 Chub

Rising river

We caught 3 Barbel to 10lb 4oz & 4 Chub to 5lb 1oz, a bit slippery down the track following the rain but we made it back up ok.

3 Barbel, 4 Chub

Fished near gate below the hill managed to catch 2 nice barbel once I changed bait one of about 5-6lb other one slightly bigger both in lovely condition rested and returned safely was a nice end to the season in tough cold conditions and a very slippery bank due to the persistent 8 or 9hrs of rain will be in September Ty W&U!!!

What a difference a day makes !!!
The river had dropped overnight and the chocolate brown colour had gone to be replaced by a pleasing greyish green and the air temperature was up several degrees. We felt confident and doubled up in one swim.
A lovely 8lbs barbel first cast and the bites continued at regular intervals. 8 barbel in total - five over 8 lbs with the best 8.12 lbs plus three over 6lbs. Also one chub of 4lbs. A great day on our favourite W&U stretch!

8 Barbel, 1 Chub

One barbel about 6-7 lb but very windy and cold water rising again
