So I packed up late morning on Sunday and made my way down to the lower end of the fishery - and what a treat! Loads of fish on view.
The stills below are from a series of videos that I shot - hence the slight fuzziness of the images where the camera's auto focus has trouble with the surface of the water.
First up, three carp basking in the sun - the big one in the foreground is a mid to high teens double, low twenties at the most, while the smaller two are around 10-12 lbs each.
Next, a view of one of the spots that I have my eye on, the channel in front of the bushes is about 5 ft deep and looks perfect - and there is another double-figure carp moving downstream mid river.
The picture below shows 5 or 6 barbel on a gravel bar. At one point while I watched, the gravel patch had 11 barbel on it. About 8 were doubles with the biggest about 15lbs. They were rooting around in the gravel, apparently feeding happily - just wait till I have some hemp seed!
The picture below shows the same gravel patch as above. There are four or five barbel on it, several chub, one or two perch and a double figure carp (the dark shape just moving across on the left)
Finally, two more huge barbel moving through a weed bed - these fish are both doubles, maybe 12 to 15lbs!
Amazing that this stretch is not fished!!
