Both Chubb caught with a single piece of sweet corn on barbless hook with a 3oz ledger.

Caught well given river conditions,barbel up to 7lbs and chub to 4lb on float,early and late best.by midday lot of family groups came to swim which didn’t help the experience.

9 Barbel, 30 Chub

Shortish evening session so fed a large shoal of chub from above dropping 6 mm pellets from the bridge and in extremely clear water watching the shoal grow and feed confidently. Entered the river level with the bridge on the far side and waded to the required point. Trotted pellets down the short run they were in and had 10 all over 4lb in 10 trotts before they spooked.

Moved down to the fast water at the second to last set of steps on left bank and trotted again picking up some more chub and two surprise pristine roach about 1/2 lb each before chucking my feeder as far downstream as possible in the hope of a barbel as the light faded but was only rewarded with 2 clonking chub which must have been 6lb a piece and a lost barbel (there is a big snag just as the fast water ends).

18 Chub, 2 Other
