Barbel LDR after 5 minute tussle.

Bottom of steps swim. Had to do some gardening to remove potential snags and create safe access for landing fish. Overhead trees have continued to encroach on casting. The offending branches are too big and too high for an amateur gardener to do anything about. Only a few seasons back three of us could just manage to fish here but it’s down to one now.

Fished the top section in the faster water. plenty of small chub in the morning and picked up a couple of barbel in the afternoon - best at 8lb 12. River looking lovely - nice start to the season.

River up a little with some colour, chub all caught on the float, first time on this beat, restricted swims available, most of the stretch with no access, expected more considering the cost.

Just 3 chub from about 9 hours, finishing in time to watch the footy. The beach is a lovely spot, especially with the hound in tow.

Fownhope never disappoints those that make the effort. Treking up and over Heartattack hill and deep into the mountain Goat territory of the enchanted woods, you reap the rewards from the fishing Gods. Barbel were second in the queue all day to the ravenous Chub. Several caught between us 2 anglers to the edge of 6lb, with most reaching 3 too 4. All spawned out, none milting this year.
Stu G had 60+ Chub. Simon M had 60+ Chub and a single Barbel of 7lbs-ish. Mostly feeder tactics and pellets.

Go careful as it is treacherous in places.

Cheers again W&U
