River quite low but reasonable flow. Weather cool and drizzly. Started fishing late afternoon and caught a few chub on pellet and meat up to around 3 pounds or so, together with an eel. Swim then went quiet and no sign of barbel and I was just thinking of packing up soon after 9 o'clock when my rod was almost pulled out of its rest by a very obvious barbel bite. The fish put up great resistance. It was clearly worth weighing so after unhooking was rested in the net while I got out scales and sling. As I raised the net to weigh it the net snapped at the joint with the handle! (Not a cheap one either). Fortunately I was able to grab the netting before it and the barbel disappeared down the river. It went exactly 8 1/2 lbs on the scales and was returned for another rest before safe release. I was very wet and muddy after all the excitement and decided to call it a day.

Not an easy day as the river came up a metre over night and was still coming up all day but fished the first field with ground bait/pellet feeder and meat on hook and was fortunate to catch a PB barbel of 9lb 9oz. Really pleasant day although the walk back up the hill was challenging.

4 Barbel 6 to 9 lb. Conditions tough due to rising river, rain and wind. Only 1 of us had success with all fish falling to small 6mm pellet. Excellent venue and will be back.

We settled into a couple of swims half way along in the first field where the river was deeper and slower. An early chub of 4lb 12oz was caught on meat which we hoped was a sign of things to come but then nothing until late afternoon when out of the blue a barbel of 6lb 4oz was tempted by a halibut pellet and feeder tactics.
