Beautiful stretch, access was good as conditions were dry, rough steps cut in to steep banks to give access to swims, would be treacherous if wet. Car did struggle slightly getting up the very last slope to the gate but got up eventually.

Evening session, fantastic chub fishing, lots of fish up to about 4lbs but no barbel had unfortunately. All chub on float fished meat close in. One take on ledger but came off.

With my Covid symptoms gone we were 4 again today but I travelled alone and stayed up or down banks from them.
A bit sunnier in spells than yesterday I'm told but river still had a nice tinge of colour and was over a foot up on norm.
We all caught barbel, which is my top criteria for a very successful trip, from 4 different swims between the top and bottom of the beat - two with 6, one with two and one with a lone 7lber. One of the two was a real beauty of 10lb 04 and a first ever barbel double for happy Steve, so happy that he actually wrote woo hoo in a message, unheard of for him. As usual no one was near him to take a photo. Two of the 15 were babbers but all the rest 5 - 7lb apart from Barney. We were all lazy and stuck to feeders but the flow was lovely and the runs clear enough so the float would have gone through nice, maybe next week. All the barbel came to pellets. Biggest chub 4.08.
A great day on our favourite beat, thanks WUF and despite not seeing him today, great work from Stefan.
