Just fished in the evening. River level falling, good flow and colour. Three barbel, all between 5 and 6lbs. All on feeder with pellets.

Love this beat. Just enough access and fast water. Slow start on meat - a usual banker for me. Went on float fished corn to catch 8 chub and some big dace and lost a trout which leapt 4’ in the air. Finished session in the deeper water after barbel with pellet and caught 8 more chub - bigger than those on the float but nothing over 4lb. Good sport.
Ps retrieved another ‘anglers’ big fixed lead to at least 20 lb line and a big barbed hook. Not good.
Pls hardly any fry but more weed - albeit the dark green stuff.

Worryingly I saw several cormorants just downstream from Foy bridge. These birds were actively feeding on fish under the surface of the river and should be culled. There are too many of them.
