Struggled this month but I am determined to get a barbel every month of this year - lockdowns allowing!
My third short session on the river this month, the first two blanks. A lot of water this year after so much winter rain, the flow is still too strong most places, but finally a couple of fish were feeding in an undercut bank swim.
Biggest only about 4.5 lb but it was a relief to get the February fish chalked up!
Both fish came in the first 15 minutes and in the next three hours I missed a couple of more bites.
This has been a difficult year so far but, if it's possible to get close to the river, there are still fish to be caught!
