No fish caught, no bites

We fished the swim right next to the hut. Last year we tried from the centre of the woods and had great success but didn't fancy the hill of death this time!

An abundance of Chub available trotting, had around 15 in 1-2 hours to 3lb but switched to the feeder and the first Barbel was a midday and at 10lb 4oz I was chuffed. My mate lost a decent one later in the afternoon and they came on the feed again well at dusk where I caught a further 5 more barbel between 6-8lb.

All caught on a mixture of boilie, pellet and meat.

Banks are busier than other stretches with dog walkers, hikers etc but not an issue tbh.

Tough day, low water. No fish

Evening - 3 fish to 14 inches. A few rises to something like a smut; tiny Klinkhamer size 18 worked a bit. Then a decent rise possibly to small sedges at about 9pm, hard to imitate.

Hard day, river low but an enjoyable day all the same.

A fantastic morning and evening. River low with a tinge of colour. Fish ranged from 1/2 lb to 5lb+ in both species. All fish in great condition with lots of year classes. Float fished meat using a stepped up float rod and centre pin.
