1 Barbel, 85 Chub

I had a fantastic day on Thomas Wood fishery catching 2 barbel (5 lb and 2 lb) and 2 chub. I started with 14 mm halibut pellets but had no significant bites. I caught all the fish when I changed to luncheon meat. Thanks the Fishing Passport for sorting out my day ticket.

2 Barbel, 2 Chub

Stunning early morning session with the Chub and a few Barbel.

First time on this stretch with three anglers in our group. It was quite tough going and required plenty of roving the entire stretch throughout the day to find the fish. We managed three barbel between us (all in immaculate condition, the biggest a beautiful 8lb 6oz), 8 chub and 1 eel, all on ledgering tactics.
A lovely stretch, quite difficult with the overhanging trees in a lot of the swims and not really a wading/trotting location unless the river is really low and you can get out in it, and again only possible in a few swims I would suspect (deep in the margins with steep banks).
Really nice to be able to park right down by the river in the middle of the stretch via the gate alongside the line of trees (removing the two electric fence gateways - and of course re-attaching them!), but this wouldn't be possible once it starts getting wet and muddy.
