very slow day. cold and damp.

2 Chub

Unfortunately I lost two fish in a snag which meant a blank for me today.

Colder day after the last week of unseasonably warm weather. Fished the faster water to start but other than a couple of chub it was slow going. Moved back towards the deeper water and it was there we found the barbel. Fishing single small pellet and feeding very little did the trick with the majority of the fish coming at the end of the day. The barbel were in the 5-7lb range, the chub 2-3lb and fin perfect as usual. All in all a good days fishing for this time of year and as usual the venue never disappoints, will be back in the new season.

3 Barbel, 4 Chub

Some flood debris in pegs, making access a bit tricky. River was in good condition but water temp was only 8 degC resulted in poor fishing

1 Barbel

After a chilly start and several moves we fished the deeper swims as the water temperature picked up - 1 Brown Trout, 1 Dace, 2 Barbel but 1 slipped the small barbless hook. Nice day, lovely venue.

1 Trout, 1 Barbel, 1 Other

tried all the swim's on the beat with no luck,river low and clear.

arrived at 0900 on a cold crisp sunny morning. walked down to the river to discover the other bank was very busy with about 12 blokes fishing which left me with very little choice of swims. to cut a long story short the day was a complete waste of time, mainly ( i think ) because of the amount of noise the "anglers" on the other bank were making, they never stopped talking to each other at the top of their voices all day , they were mainly moaning about the lack of fish, from what i could ( easily ) overhear these guys had travelled from portsmouth area to fish for a few days.
no fish caught .
the amount of anglers allowed to fish the other bank is going to ruin this beat, it is certainly not going to be worth paying £26 a day to fish.
