I wandered down the swim and thought the gravelly stretch before the rapids would be somewhere to winkle out a sole barbel but wouldn't hold fish. Given the weather I cast out anyway and had a chublet, then after no activity packed up and wandered down to the end peg on Foy common. There was an enormous shoal of chub across the whole river, 25 chub is an estimate but it could have easily been far more had I prepared hook lengths and been a more competent angler. I wasn't out to haul fish out of the river all day like it was a match. The cherry on the cake was a 3lb 2oz perch, a greedy dace even snaffled an 8mm pellet. Every chub that came out on the common was between 4lb and 5lb. I then moved back to the bridge in the hope to catch a barbel and wasn't disappointed. 2 chublets, a barbel and a sole roach from the reedy gravel swim. Fantastic days fishing.

Although I only caught one fish, a barbel 6 lb 9 oz, I had a cracking day on this lovely fishery. I had to stop early to celebrate my son’s birthday which I totally forgot when booking the day ticket. Lesson learned ????

THE BAD NEWS IS AS OTHER ANGLERS HAVE REPORTED LACK OF SWIMS. THE CONCRETE APRON IS THE ONLY REAL SWIM BUT WE ENCOUNTED 2 OTHER ANGLERS ON THE OPP SIDE WHO HAD BEEN THERE ALL NIGHT AND DID NOT WANT US TO FISH OPPOSITE THEM ?????? ALSO THE COWS HAVE MADE THE ROAD IN AND OUT VERY SLIPPERY ,JUST MANAGED TO GET OUT. WILL CROSS THIS ONE OFF OUR LIST
