1 Barbel, 5 Chub

Early start but a cold wind made for a slow morning in the field below the woods. After lunch moved up to the lucky stone area and had more success. Chub were all around the 3 to 4 pound mark. Barbel was about 6 pound. All came on seller feeder. Other was a minnow that unbelievably tried to much on a 8mm pellet. Left around 3pm

Lovely beat tbh... I had really nice barbel at the end of the day which makes it all worth it. Fished all the beat but end of the beat was most productive. Barbel was around 7lb and caught really big chub but jump the net when getting the scales.

Should have caught more but just couldnt find the barbel. Good day and would come back.

It was wet and a bit slippery on the bank in the morning so I only fished the swims I knew I could easily access. Very bright, sunny day, water was coloured with a bit of weed coming down but a lovely day's fishing. Regular knocks throughout the day. The largest Barbel was only 4.5lb, but all were beautiful fish. Lost a larger one in a snag so will have to come back here again.....

Fantastic day in beautiful surroundings my first session of the season due to the hot conditions. The Barbel I caught looked in good condition considering however did notice red spots on the belly of the biggest fish of about 9lb.

Quite a cool start with occasional breeze but soon calmed down and warmed up. Patchy rises all day so kept switching between nymph and dry fly. Two modest grayling to a size 18 Griffiths gnat, the rest on copper bead ptn run through the deeper pools. This beat continues to impress; great variety and always challenging.

Managed to catch eight nice chub on a bright and sunny day, though with a little bit of colour to the water.
Fish came steadily spread throughout the day, all in 3.5-4llb range, on pellet and meat.
Highlight of the day, a PB Chub of 6llb 5oz, taken fairly early in the session, certainly made up for missing out on a barbel.
A cracking fish from a beautiful spot.
