Another tricky day. Lucky stones was up about two feet and rising making it tricky to cast and strike.

I chose to leave my feeder rod at home in order to fish the bolo float for the first time. I was delighted to catch a 7lb barbel on the peg nearest the hut. I missed more fish than I hooked. This is a beautiful beat, but it's becoming quite overgrown. No one should come expecting a comfortable peg.

Favourable conditions although lower level than expected, fish taken on meat with feeder and bread on the float from the wooded section and the field below the woods, unfortunately the Barbel failed to show. Have fond memories of Fownhope but at 74 I think that is my last "Up and over".

Lots of good chub here. I decided to go all out for the barbel in the evening and switched from 8mm Robin Red to Hinders Barbel Bomb. Big mistake as I only caught one chub after that. This whole beat feels a lot more overgrown since I was here three years ago. I was in a pretty tight swim below the wood. It would not have been my first choice as the bank was steep and the grass was quite slippery in the wet but my options felt limited. I am already booked in for next week so I shall scout the beat in advance to see what better swim options there are. And I will leave the Barbel Bomb at home.

Another fantastic day at Fownhope. Plenty of Chub but we think the Barbel are still spawning. I only hooked one Barbel but unfortunately it ended as a 'one that got away story'. The others were both eels caught on luncheon meat.
