second day on the stretch, fished beats 5 and 2, managed a couple of barbel, looked very healthy but absolutely smothered in lice (another angler reported the same). Still loads of small chub around

Tough. Conditions seemed pretty good, fished hard into dusk, plenty of small chub (>1lb) around but no barbel bites.

Found a lovely looking swim below the island downstream of the Toll Bridge. Lots of bites from small fish on meat, removing the bait, but no success.

Caught on near bank from building, 1st swim beat 4

6 Chub

Fished the same swims I fished 2 years ago where I previouslycaught barbel,this time I didn't have a bite all day! I tried boilies and luncheon meat, nothing doing at all. Whitney Court stretch very low.

Tried ledgered meat. Couldn't get a bite.

1 small Chub on ledgered meat.

best 2 River very low, all fish were full of lice. Be back next year.

After wasting approximately 2 hours of the morning attempting to contact the bailiff and trying to find a stretch of water that both myself and my wife would consider accessible i.e. not completey overgrown with nettles, brambles etc. or a long walk we settled on a stretch of beat 3 left bank. Caught two Chub around the 2lb mark on bread flake, the first on a float (long trotting) and the 2nd on ledger. This stretch is quite shallow at the moment so I was unable to find any Barbel.
