Enjoyable day sadly no fish.

Nice day out on the river unfortunately a blank lost one to a hook pull.

Took a gamble given both weather and river conditions but chub only - but still a pleasant day

Blanked! Was fishing for pike and dead baited in the slacks, but river was high and muddy. First visit to this section and it is a nice beat. Good number of spots you can fish from. Note to future anglers, when you cross the little bridge over the ditch, be careful…. Dropped my chair into the stream and it wasn’t easy to retrieve!

A tough day, river high but falling.
Air temperature 7 degrees C
Largest chub 4lb 3oz taken a rod length out

Really tough day, lots of water pushing through still after the flood, struggled to hold bottom with 5oz leads. Decided to try a dead bait in a slack for the last couple of hours and managed snare a pike, lovely clean fish undoubtedly never caught before

A blank day, much too cold, no action at all.

River a lot lower than when I was here a fortnight ago. Temp a lot lower too, first attempt at wading had me freezing. The swim I'd plumped for gave two Chub type bites before eels starting munching my meat.

Moved and had 6 Chub on the float, sat behind bottom rod for last hour which was weird with a mass of rod trembling but only one further Chub to show for it.

Beautiful beat, beautiful river in beautiful country. Probably last trip this year but will definitely be back

Down to zero overnight and frost on the ground. Chub to 6lb and barbel just into double figures, great fun. Same method as previous day.

7 Barbel, 13 Chub
