Steve goes to Eardington on his favourite peg for 3hrs fishin in hope of a barbel on the river for the first time this year.
Catches a 1.5lb chub and a 6oz roach with no barbel showing from the center or margin swims.
Steve thinks the barbel are else where due to the river being up by nearly half a meter to the normal good fishing level.
Perhaps Friday late evening will be a better time for fishing when the river level returns to its normal levels post the heavy rain we've had.
Trying times Steve, but it wont always be this way! Keep at it!
