7 Barbel, 7 Chub

BLANKED - gave up at lunchtime. I would be the 1st to admit I am no good when river is like thick soup and hammering through, estimate 2 feet higher than on Tuesday, probably been able to manage the flow but for the huge amount of debris, particularly leaves and lots of branches, the result of the very strong winds overnight. biggest pull of the day was a 3 ft long 8in thick log where only a tiny branch visible above the water. Obviously disappointed but some days are like that, bad days make the good ones feel even better.

Wet and very windy, untrottable so stayed on the feeder all day, if it wasn't blowing a downstream hoolie I'd have pinned it and had scores of chub and more barbel, the swim was full of them, couldn't hit them on the feeder.

We caught 3 Barbel & 38 Chub between 2 1/2lb & 4lb 12oz, the Chub fishing on the river this year has been exceptional.
