Hard work but enjoyable day

7 Barbel, 5 Chub

A low river greeted us so we initially chose two swims towards the bottom end of the beat that had a deeper run on the inside. Lots of weed was caught but no fish, so we decided to try other swims further up the beat for the rest of the day. A couple of small chub and six eels were caught all on a variety of baits, meat, pellet and sweet corn.

Difficult day, river still not fishing as well as it normally does.

A difficult first day of six on the river, algae bloom has made the river look like malt vinegar. First time on this beat, plenty of canoes but no hassle even when the armada arrived. All fish caught on pellet.

A very hard day on a stretch we normally do well on. Water was a strange brown colour and something was not quite right. Since read other similar reports.

Some 20 eel of various sizes. Barbel showing to 9lb, fewer chub than normal. Water colour was unusual like watery gravy, which we felt knocked the chub numbers down. Enjoyable day with plenty of fish.

A tough days fishing, the water was low and an odd brown colour with plenty of streamer weed to deal with. Most of the fish were caught late afternoon on boilies except for the two eels which took meat. Two chubb 3lb 8oz, 4lb 11oz and two barbel 8lb 3oz and 7lb 15oz.

Not a day for fish for me. Really struggled again here. Fish seem to hide away when I turn up! Fished late afternoon through to evening. Not a single take on float or feeder. Chatting to nice guy who also booked, he managed to grab a few decent barbel. This venue is my nemesis without a doubt.
