11 Chub

river high but went out , not ideal didnt see or touch anything, a bit of a worry really as I expected to at least see a fish

did not fish

The swims in the first field were ok but further downstream access to the river is poor. The opposite side is a non starter

3 Barbel, 9 Chub

A new beat to ourselves, we drove from Preston and arrived about 9 o clock. After a walk of the beat we decided to fish 2 adjoining pegs as there was only 2 us and my father in law is not 100% on his feet.
We fished the dead tree peg, the river was nicely coloured and dropping off. We had knocks from the off but only caught at about lunchtime. I caught my first barbel on meat and also a chub, then my father in law caught a barbel on krill pellets. There was a large Salmon splashing around in front of us which was good to see. The rest of the fish came later in the day David caught a barbel just as was getting dark and as it was resting my rod went over so we ended with 2 in the net. David's was the biggest barbel of the day and dwarfed my fish in the net. , We didn't take a decent photo as we just wanted to get them back and the banks were a bit dodgy in the darkness.
Thanks for a great day. Hopefully our other fishing mate gets better soon and join us again.
