Very warm, low water, small trout but escaped!

2 Trout

I fished from 7am to 1pm trotting meat and had 8 chub all a decent size between 3lb and 5lb, I did do a hour on the bottom and had 3 big eels around the 2lb mark, unfortunately no barbel, the river is very low and clear and the bites did slow up a bit as soon as the sun got above the trees.

1 Trout, 8 Chub, 3 Other

Not even a bite,very warm day fish just wasn't feeding

We fished beat 2 on the beach and caught 3 barbel to 5lb and 15-20 chub to 2lb on pellet and meat. Very hot day so happy with what we managed to land. A lot of canoe traffic from 11 am throughout the day.

3 Barbel, 16 Chub

Lovely beat.......weather bit warm

1 Chub

Not an easy days fishing with extremely high temperatures reducing the fishable swims to those few providing an element of shade.
Nonetheless a great day was had, resulting in one Barbel of just over five pounds and seven Chub up to three pounds.

1 Barbel, 7 Chub

Arrived at 3 o’clock temp in truck showing 34deg felt a lot hotter than that!!!,decided against the long trek to the bottom end of the fishery and stayed in top meadow.River very low with little flow,2 small chub float fishing meat feeding hemp and pellets up until 6 o’clock then a steady stream of better fish up to 5 lb 9oz and one on groundbait feeder and boilie at 5lb 4oz just before curfew.

9 Chub

as this was day 3 of our trip to Whitney Court we arrived a lot earlier on beat 2 (the beach) 2 anglers fishing shallow water in very hot conditions with over 75 canoes and paddle boards passing through our swims. However even with these problems we both caught 3 Barbel between us first thing and 16 chub to 2LB, alas even the sight of 4 Buzzards and a regular fly-by a beautiful Kingfisher could not make up for the loss of the first 2 days fishing.
