Nice day with very little boat traffic. Usual method of pellet feeder did the trick. Got chased out of one swim by a decent pike that attacked the small fish shoal each time the feeder landed. Spectacular! One barbel just topped the magic 10.

With plenty of rain the day before and forecast looking good, expectations were high. Having travelled the one & half hours I arrived just before 7am, the river was coloured and dropping. I chose the sewage pipe as recommended and after three or four casts I was rewarded with my first bite and after a short battle with a heavy fish, the hook pulled..!! After that the swim went very quiet at mid-day I decided it was time for a move, with weather improving and sun popping in and out I didn't think I'd catch again. How wrong I was.... early afternoon came with a flurry of two fish in quick succession, 1 x 7lb 4oz & 1 x 8lb 6oz then the swim went quiet.

The canoe traffic was predictably heavy, most again very courteous, some never seen a fisherman, and did not know what to do when a line is in the water.... go around? All in all it was a great day on the river, I will be looking forward to returning ASAP.

Bait - Fishmeal ground-bait mixed in with 4 & 6mm Halibut pellets, hemp & corn and banded pellet on the hook.
