Second consecutive tough day - had one early and thought it was going to be good but apart from losing one at dusk very quiet. Lovely day though.

Very quiet on this lovely fishery despite perfect weather conditions. Just the one barbel and lost one and one chub

Nice part of the river but quite steep banks. Still, there was more than enough swim choice. We caught regularly throughout the day and from most swims we tried. The barbel came from the first field and the chub throughout the beat. Feeder and pellet worked best with a change to small, strong hooks improving catch rates.

Fantastic day on a stunning stretch with plenty of accessible swims in the current conditions. Biggest chub was 4.5lb, and biggest barbel was circa 7lb. Will be back for sure!

River in perfect trim good levels and a little colour, weather bright sunshine and warm. Started with a swim in the middle of the beat and had a small Chub first cast then nothing for an hour and a half. Moved upstream a few swims and quickly into fish and took five barbel in five casts !!??. Had four more spread through the afternoon. Pellet feeder with pellet hookbait took all the fish . A real red letter day.

River looked good for a few fish normal levels but still a little colour .Fished a swim in the middle of the beat. Had to wait until 4.30pm for a bite which resulted in a nice barbel. Hooked another next cast but unfortunately the book pulled at the net. Feeder fished pellet with mixed size pellet and hemp in the feeder was used.
