10 Barbel, 8 Chub

Two not three fished on a warmish overcast morning. River up about half a metre on normal summer level with a nice flow and a ting of colour. Cardiac hill conquered we settled on either side of the lucky stone. With the increased level this was a little tricky without waders meaning the one above the stones had to go a little further up. This put him just above a big snag and after losing two complete feeder rigs, numerous hooklengths and a couple of fish it, he moved down to the meadow where he added 9 chub to the two he got out from the stones. The stone itself produced chub steadily throughout the day fist and last things on the feeder, with everything I tried on the hook, but the bulk to pellet over pellet on the float to 4lb. Fished the last hour on bomb and bag further upstream than I could reach on the feeder. This produced the lone (mint) barbel of 6lb 15 mins before packing up. All in a great day. Hats off to whoever took a spade to the dodgy bit in the wood. Minimal change, just a few incisions for foot holds, but it's made it safe for now.

I had a 12 inch brown trout on a olive nymph which I returned and a 2lb stocky on an olive nymph which I kept

Conditions damp river slightly coloured intermittent showers. Fished from 6.30am -8.30 pm. Warning of skidding on the track is correct as the 4x4 did and really the track offers fairly low clearance for cars. Location offers good fishing in a beautiful setting. Really only two decent access points which is a shame as this makes it impossible to roam.
One of the swims has a fairly rocky snaggy bottom plus branches to the left causing the potential loss of fish. This said a lovely spot to spend the day. Primarily feeder used but float also caught.
