Sorry Mark didn't realise you had started this thread when I added mine.
If possible can the administrator remove mine so there is only one for the Great Ouse. Regards Phil |

Planning a 1st day trip to the Felmisham/Radwell area in morning just wondering if you have had much rain in the area and if it has effected levels as we have had very little in the area I live in london. Just want to know if I will need some heavy leads or not. Good luck to anybody on there this season.

Looks like Bedford is about to get another drenching. The river looks in good nick at the mo', few extra inches on and a splattering of colour. If we get more showers this evening then by tomorrow the levels could have risen some more.
Good luck to all, apart form those who have a shifty cast before midnight

Well, i'm one blank closer to my next Barbel..
The river was up about 3-4ft this afternoon, not too much rubbish coming down.. At least the rain gave my tackle a wash! Declan |

Hi Declan
Looks like we are drawing! Had a bream of about 7lb, at least it put a bend in the rod. Regards Phil

Gents,
Just to update you all,the river has started to drop,it was about 5 foot above normal summer levels, water very coloured and plenty of flow on it...... The rubbish/weed still coming down but not as bad as it was on the early morn of the 16th. Having a cracking start to the season,followed up my two doubles on the 16th with another barbel this afternoon,not a double but still a decent fish 7lb 4 oz. The evening sky is very dark and black and may have some more rain tonight.Hoping to get out again this week,good luck to one and all. tight lines. Adam |

Gents,
Was out on Saturday evening for a few hours. For me it was fantastic to actually see the river in the daylight for a change. The river still looked just as beautiful as I remembered it. Very surprised to see only a couple of other anglers on the stretch, considering the conditions and being the first Saturday of the season. I would have been on the bank 10 minutes earlier, if I hadn't taken the time to stop unpacking the car, and watch a barn owl quartering the meadows looking for its tea. On reaching the banks I found it a foot of so within its bank, with a fantastic colour and pace. Trying a few different places, first fish was a 9-10 oz roach (on hair rig!!). Second fish was my first barbel of the season pulling the scales around to 7lb 12oz. First cast in a different swim, and the bait only being in the water for less than 30 seconds - MAGICAL. The fish fought like a demon, punching well above its weight and didn't have a mark on her. Packed up at just gone midnight happy as Larry (a) not to have blanked, (b) to have caught a barbel and (c) witnessing and netting a double figure barbel for another angler. It doesn't get much better than that. Overall impression of the first weekend is that if fish were found, then multiple catches were to be had, whereas those not on the fish struggled for bites. Conditions were spot on, although the garage is now covered in wet and smelly kit, drying out after the rain. Regards, Mark |

Nice one Mark. I'm still waiting to make my first trip of the season. Hopefully I will get a few hours in later this week.
Adam, a great start to the season mate. Well done. Cheers Mark... |
