Very nice stretch and nicely maintained. 3 fished on the beach at the bottom of the beat, feeder baited with halibut pellets. Also fished a swim mid way and caught 6 of the chub and a small barbel

6 chub trotting bread under the castle, rest of chub, barbel and eel on legered pellet or spam

After a very promising start, (two Barbel hooked, one lost to a hook pull) by 6am it was tough going on static baits but plenty of hefty Chub to roving tactics with the float, mostly to bread.

Late afternoon session proved to be productive. Most chub caught on trotted meat and the barbel later on at dusk on ledgered pellet and hemp. Largest Chub was 5lb and barbel were 2lb, 5.2lb and 7.6lb. Absolutely cracking fish. Once they started to feed it was all out attack. All were strong and healthy looking which was reassuring to see.

Continued where I left off from Saturday but this time the barbel were cooperating. Took all three on feeder / pellet plus lots of chub including some 4lb’ers on trotted breadflake. Barbel were 7lb, 6lb, and 7.5lb

Lots of chub on feeder and float from the first swim above the gravel run in the lower section. Tried many other swims with meat, pellet etc but couldn’t locate the barbel. Loads of chub around. One barbel lost later in the afternoon that took off like a train and snapped an 8lb hook link like it was cotton. Many thanks to the fellow angler who gave me some bread when mine ran out.
