Brief description of the session & remarks: Crazy 40 minutes with 4 Barbel. The bait wasn't in the water for more than a minute without getting taken during this period. One of them took seconds after casting with a 2oz lead, I didn't even get the rod in the rest. Unhittable Chub knocks later on as the water cleared but the Chub were absent earlier, when it was like chocolate.

Brief description of the session & remarks: Didnt get loads of bites, fished one swim for a couple of hours and only had the two lost barbel on, the both got off on a sunken snag right infront of me.

I felt that this day would definately suit the stick more that the lead or feeder.

There were fish getting caughton the stretch, just not by me.
