Very wet and muddy day. Had the pleasure of witnessing Andy's impressive chub haul, I caught a single chub 6lb 2oz
nice way to end the river season !

I arrived at 7.10am to find RB there and parked up just off the track.On doing the same, within 5 minutes we discovered our 2WD drive cars were both stuck! After some careful placement of branches and pushing, to our relief we were able to help each other out! Despite being relatively fit and having a ground spike and rope with me, I opted to play safe, and went down to the bottom swim opposite the castle, and RB and I fished next to each other. River was around 1.2m on the local gauge with some colour, and the rain was doing its thing in the morning, clearing up by noon-ish.
Using a mix of meat and GB feeder or maggot feeder, I was able to bring a steady stream of chub to the net over the day, most 3-4lb, with the biggest just over 4lb. it was great to see RB bring a wonderful chub to the net - it looked enormous! Stephan appeared mid-morning, and as usual, was helpful in his advice.
This beat is a good year round venue, in the same bracket as How Caple Court.

Four of us fished and we all had chub in various swims both at the top and bottom on the stretch. Barbel didn't want to feed but by adopting a roving approach we finally got one on one of the swims in the middle. Couple of nice grayling as well.

River had dropped in last week and most swims were fishable with care. Plenty of them have ropes fitted which is handy.

Fished down the bottom for day 2, 4 chub came out of the bottom pool on boilie and meat, all 3 to 4lbs, tried 4 other swims where ropes helped access, no luck.
Beautiful stretch, many thanks

A reasonable day with two decent Barbel coming our way, both on pellet.
