The river conditions were difficult. Fish came to pellets or meat using heavy rods and leads or feeders. Bank space is very limited due to the area being quite overgrown.

Fished until early afternoon. River dropping through the day but still coming through at quite a rate and lots of debris coming down. Fished meadow stretch. 1 barbel caught early afternoon as the rain began.

River at about 2m. Only the meadow really fishable & then only a couple of swims accessible with the water at this level (a couple of feet lower would have made all the difference) so after a brief go without success we called it a day.

River still well up from the weekends rain with a lot of colour. Most areas not possible to fish. Fished near margin slack along the meadow stretch. After a cold start and a light frost I managed 4 barbel of 5lb, 8lb, 9lb and 11lb. A small eel also made an appearance late in the day.

River looked perfect,nice colour and flow.I fished from 12.00 and packed up at about 5.00 just as it started raining......just one lost fish(hooklink went) Couldn’t work it out as the river should have been fishing it’s head off!

Fished afternoon and early evening towards the top end of the beat. All fish caught on the feeder using halibut pellet on the hook. Weights between 6lb and 10lb 6oz.

With low water only one fishable swim in the Meadow. Settled into the wooded area. Plenty of weed coming through. Heavy rains made fishing difficult. Not fishing like we know it to in the past. Two anglers, 1 barbel apiece. That's how is is sometimes.
