One barbel and a chub caught from the middle of the beat Both on small pellets.
A lovely beat - excellent instructions and banks well maintained.
Some slippy banks but nothing too extreme

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

River low clear and cold, blue skies and sun knew a struggle was the order of the day but pleasantly surprised with 10 nice chub throughout the day on feeder, better than the expected blank!

10 Chub

A good number of small trout and grayling, with the odd larger fish in the mix. Some showing signs of predation, but the river otherwise in fine form, and the beat looking stunning. An enjoyable day.

12 Trout, 6 Grayling

Plenty of grayling up to 1 1/4 lbs. All on French nymphs. Nice stretch of water, but a huge amount of litter and rubbish in and around the water.

17 Grayling

Water still pushing through, so not that many swims fishable but managed to hook 4 grayling and get 2 to the net on trotted maggot. 6-12”

2 Grayling

No catch

Fantastic Day on my favourite beat. River was at 1.3m when I arrived. I Was after an elusive December Barbel and today I had 5. Biggest was 11Ib 15oz and rest were between 5Ib to 8Ib. Fantastic end to 2024.

Avery pleasant day....
Banks and trees have taken a beating after recent storms. Had a couple of chub early doors then nothing . Many thanks to Steffan who advised on a maybe better swim. Plenty of mixed size chub followed and then at dusk, of course, a real beauty of a barbel gave..." me a grab your rod quick !!"moment!! Nice way to end the day and the year on the bank.
