Very few swims, not recommended

2 Chub

Only a small Chub and Barbel but they were very welcome given the conditions . Plenty of accessible swims available on this short stretch of river. Fished left hand bank as it was shady and used pellet with a cage feeder.

No fish caught! Enjoyable couple of hours though on a beautiful day!

arrived around 11, already too late for first swim over bridge (kid and dogs swimming ) obviously can't read haha, so off down to end swim LHS, fed mashed bread , instant response to float fished bread, 4 Chub up to 3.5lbs over 1/2 hour, then dead, set up feeder ,halibut ground bait hair rigged elips pellets ,sat on box out on the shallows ,weed a bit of a problem but by 2.30pm had 2 more Chub a one elusive Barbel of 5lbs, tried meat but Eels like it big time.
back to car for dinner ,then did some trotting on middle swim LHS loads of chub to a lb (but most 10inch long and odd dace to corn as well ,tried the lead mid river but out there,it eats kit at a regular rate ......roving pays dividends here ,releasing silver fish back tends to slow swims up even with constant feeding . very enjoyable day , thank you ...note it may well pay to remove the large limb of the willow tree at bottom ,and the smaller one above , this would give easy access to trot or ledger with casting ease ,as the LHS of the tree swim is horrible to fish out of >??

Phone booked ticket ,cost a extra £5 making it £28 , not sure thats helping numbers >?? any way walked both sides tossing in bread to see what was at home ...off the bridge the chub to 5lbs were ravenous , set up below and cast up under bridge with big lumps of flake ,worked well but returning fish soon killed swim.
Sun came through so moved to bottom swim left hand side ,again fed loose bread , fish on it here 30m below where I waded out to caught chub consistently with trotting, bread /corn and rolling huge pieces of meat on a lead link .
Sun out ...fish in and visa versa brilliant afternoon , but the Chub took any bait offered before the Barbel, corn and meat wise.!! then the eels arrived left around 6pm
