30 Chub, 1 Other

1st time I've taken my 8 year old grandson fishing and what a pleasure it was, set our rods up put the kettle on only to hear I've got a fish on first cast for him I thought here we go he played the trout reeling in but asked me to net it for him. Had our cuppa and a natter I caught 3 then he caught his 2 fish limit. Packed up and all the way home it was when can we go next lol, we both caught on worm on the lead casting around 7 meters out but we did have the mild slight wind blowing into our corner. All in all a great day's fishing look out next week.

Nice days fishing plenty of chub but no sign of barbel

36 Chub

Float fished meat 9chub between 4and 5lb lots of smaller chub as well. There is no parking in the tree line as the instructions provided advise the land owner has put up an electric fence around the field . So only 2parking spaces available. You can not wade in this stretch the river was ia low of 0.5 mtr so not what the wright up says at all . It’s overgrown some pegs need attention. Fishing is good tho.

Fishing Passport Note : There is electric fencing, but there is 2 electric fencing gateways.

Again thanks to owner for great access - probably the best on the books. Not the access track though - which is now in a different position than on the w and u map. Access track is a deeply rutted track with thick grass between. I wouldn't risk it with anything other than a 4x4.

Fish just up of the well fished bottom pool for 4 chub on the meat feeder during a short morning session. No bites on pellet. Had to leave early - not my choice as the plan was to fish the fastest water at the top boundary as fish seem to be in the shallow fast water this time of year. Hooked a dogged mystery fish when the rig dropped off the rod end in shallow water while unhooking a chub. Was fishing double 8mm pellet on a band and one must have stayed on. The only thing I could think off as it slipped the hook was a foul hooked pike. Wish I had seen it.

ps why can't redbank anglers use the same track for cars at it goes right past their downstream stile access?
