Tough going .

1 Chub

Fishing very slow so tried 5 swims to find the fish. Barbel and one chub next to the island on consecutive casts but that proved to be a false dawn but on reflection should have persevered in the faster water. All fish to feeder tactics with pellet or meat on the hook. Nothing on the float rod and one other was an eel.

1 Barbel, 9 Chub, 1 Other

Chub bonanza as usual.
All caught on float fished corn, luncheon meat and various krill and halibut drilled baits. Exactly the same on feeder. Catching fish from first cast at around 5.30am through to last cast at around 3.30pm.
Average size of the chub was around 2.5lbs with best fish around 4.5lbs but didn't take time to weigh any of them. Overall catch numbers was estimated at well over 100 on the two rods. That works out at around 12 fish per hour which is a low estimate, it was extraordinary and, dare I say, became almost boring.
Unfortunately no barbel and these were our primary target.

100 Chub

we fished beat 3 for the morning with just 1 chub each...moved to beat 2 for the evening resulting in 3 more chub....we found that on both beats access was very limited due to overgrown banks making it hard to find swims
